privacy.php word limit?

[hetster]

is there a max length of letters you can have in privacy.php

 

as i am creating a shop takeing credit details etc stateing that we adhere to the data protection act etc is a good thing.

 

the thing i have run into is this. i can get to 6 lines of text in the on the web page and any words after that arent there. i can also only 2 words after that dont show..any more than 2 words on top of the 6 lines and i get syntax errors even though all i am doing is adding 1 letter.

 

so i am wondering if theres a limit to the pruvacy text container or if theres a setting for max length etc or to expand the div container so it will fit more words.. 6 lines isnt really enough for a FULL data protection/privacy statement.

 

would hate my site to become illegal becuase of a poorly worded privacy statement.

 

this is what i have so far and is the max length i can have..any more letters and i get errors

I seem to be getting the same error with mine, when I paste my privacy statement into it, I keep getting errors like you?

i think it may be a bug and nothing easily solvable as few words its fine..few extra words and you get syntax errors..it'll be deeply hidden code.

but then again i know nothing about php lol

its not how to word it as i have all that all ready to go in a txt file.

 

its just that for some reason the privacy container is only allowing me to post 6 lines of text and no more.

the link above shows my max length. if i add 1 more letter i would get syntax error and page wont load

I bet your problem stop when you remove all these " 's " and these " 've " etc etc etc you need to put "/" infront of them.
