Hi friends;

I want to know if it's possible to configure the max length of a sms. It's only that I am testing smstools with a modem just for receiving sms's and even the sms has 100 characters, smstools only get the first 50 chars.

Please tell me where can I configure this.
Thanks!

Length is not configurable and smstools does not cut incoming messages.

Use the loglevel = 7 and show from the log how SMS is received. Also show hexdump -C < /var/spool/sms/<incoming SMS file>.

Actually was my mistake, smstools is correctly getting the full incoming sms. But when I use sample code for inserting incoming sms into MySql table, the text is not complete.

The field txt in MySql table is varchar(220) so it would fit any sms.

But I only get the first 50 chars in MySql table. How to fix this? Thanks!

The code is

#Extract data from the SMS file
FROM=`formail -zx From: < $2`
TEXT=`formail -I "" <$2 | sed -e"1d"`

#Set some SQL parameters
if [ "$SQL_PASSWORD" != "" ]; then
SQL_ARGS="-p$SQL_PASSWORD";
else
SQL_ARGS="";
fi
SQL_ARGS="-h $SQL_HOST -u $SQL_USER $SQL_ARGS -D $SQL_DATABASE -s -e"

#Do the SQL Query
#mysql $SQL_ARGS "UPDATE $SQL_TABLE SET stat=\"1\" WHERE cel=\"$FROM\";"
mysql $SQL_ARGS "insert into $SQL_TABLE (cel,txt) values (substring(\"$FROM\",-9),\"$TEXT\");"

What kind is the text in SMS, does it contain backslashes and/or double quotation marks? At least you should make it "SQL safe", like:

TEXT=$(echo "$TEXT" | sed 's/\\/\\\\/g' | sed 's/\"/\\\"/g')

It's just text only 'a-z''A-Z''0-9' and blank spaces with no other symbols. I tested with 4 incoming SMS with more than 50 chars but when it's transfered to MySql it always get the first 50 chars.

I will test with your recommendation.

Check from the log of MySQL what kind of clause is executed, to see if the problem is on the script side, or on the server side. Also verify that the field surely is varchar(220).
