PHP and SQL Server are a powerful combination, however sometimes data stored in a text type column is truncated for no apparent reason after 4096 characters. Here’s how to fix the problem.

The tar (tape archive) command bundles a bunch of files together and creates an archive (commonly called a tar file or tarball) on a tape, disk drive, or floppy disk. The original files are not deleted after being copied to the tar file.

To create an archive using tar, use a command like this, which bundles all the files in the current directory that end with .doc into the alldocs.tar file:

tar cvf alldocs.tar *.doc

wget -m http://www.simsekmert.com/FOLDER_TO_DOWNLOAD/

-m, –mirror

shortcut for -N -r -l inf –no-remove-listing.

wget -H -r --level=1 -k -p http://www.simsekmert.com/FOLDER_TO_DOWNLOAD/

-r, –recursive

Specify recursive download.

-l, –level=NUMBER

Maximum recursion depth (inf or 0 for infinite).

-k, –convert-links

Make links in downloaded HTML point to local files.

-p, –page-requisites

Get all images, etc. needed to display HTML page.
