I have a function that post on a users facebook wall.

One thing that I send to facebook is some text that I get from my mysql table that is set to LONGTEXT. If I have the table set as LONGTEXT then the text is not send to facebook, but if I set the table to VARCHAR then the text is send to facebook!

So how can I convert the LONGTEXT value that I get so it becomes like a VARCHAR value, before I send it to facebook?

I use the table in many other places so I just cant convert the table itself to VARCHAR, its to much work! I have to convert the output instead.

Any input appreciated thanks!

    In mysql you can do:

    
SELECT ID, CAST(YourLongText as char(255)) AS YourVarchar FROM some_table

    Did you mean like that
