To adjust the 4k limitation of TEXT fields, I changed the TEXTSIZE and TEXTLIMIT value of MSSQL (SET TEXTSIZE xxx) to a very high value to prevent interference. This works properly.

Adjusting the "mssql.textlimit" and "mssql.textsize" values in php.ini would allow larger than 4k results to be returned. This seems also fine.

However, changing this limit at run time ("ini_set("mssql.textlimit", 12000); ini_set("mssql.textsize", 12000);", 12000 (int) or "12000" string, not making a difference) would have no impact on the selected result.
PHPINFO() shows the new adjusted value but the result would still be limited to the value set in the PHP.INI file.

Also, "-1" (as suggested in the INI_SET function description page) seems to limit to 4k too.

Server API: ISAPI
MSSQL Library version: 7.0

the probleme seems to be global to ISAPI modul
when i try to set mssql.textsize & mssql.textlimit in php.ini, these values take effect while using php.exe but no when using php.dll (ISAPI modul)
phpinfo return "Server default" as local and master values
using php4.4.4 on Win2KSrv SP4
