I have an action hook set up that copies a post (when published) to my own database. This has worked fine for all my test posting, but when I tried publishing a post with lengthy content, the INSERT query now returns false. I did a little searching, and found that the MySQL variable max_allowed_packet is probably to blame. I use Bluehost to host my site, and I found the variable in phpMyAdmin, but I can't find a way to change it. I also have a hook that updates my database when a post is edited, and if I edit the post to have lengthy text, it returns false as well.
My thought is to call/chat with Bluehost, and see if they can change it, but before I do all this editing, I'd like to get some input from you guys to see if this is even necessary. Any suggestions? They'd be very much appreciated.
Also my max_allowed_packet variable = 268,435,456
Thanks
