Thanks, It appears that this is just some debugging information and not an
actual limit on the string length.
What I am trying to figure out is why I am only getting a few random images
displayed from the Viper php script. The gift server provides random 10 images
as requested, however, the viper script displays anywhere from 0 to 10 images.
I found that some of the paths I am indexing have the "&" character in them. I know it is bad practice to use the "&" in the path, but this is an existing file system with users who do not know better.
Some digging into the code showed that spaces are converted into their hex
equivalent in gift-add-collection.pl:
$i=~s[ ][%20]g;
Just adding another line(s):
$i=~s[\&][%26]g;
$i=~s[\#][%23]g;
should protect against the "&" (and "#" for URL problems) in the filename from
causing xml parsing problems.
