Data Types

Some of my data get's cut off when being posted to my db. I have tried various things such as collate settings, I have tried various types such as varchar, char, blob(and it was a blob lol), text, etc.

i have a filter page:

{
$one =filter_var($val, FILTER_SANITIZE_STRING);
$stripping= filter_var($one, FILTER_UNSAFE_RAW, FILTER_FLAG_ENCODE_AMP);
$foo = str_replace("\r\n\r\n","",htmlentities($stripping));
$foo2 = str_replace("\r\n","",$foo);
$foo3 = str_replace("<","",$foo2);
$foo4 = str_replace(">","",$foo3);
$foo5 = str_replace("/","",$foo4);
$foo6 = str_replace("..","",$foo5);
$foo7 = str_replace("|","",$foo6);
$foo8 = htmlentities($foo7,ENT_COMPAT,'ISO-8859-1');
$foo9 = html_entity_decode($foo8,ENT_COMPAT,'UTF-8');
return htmlentities($foo9,ENT_QUOTES);
}

then i have the page with my query, RefNo being the column I am battling with in my db:

the fbwrite at the top obviously refers to the $_POST['RefNo']"

$Ref_No = $_POST['RefNo'];
$sql="insert into prerequisites (tr_RefNo, dte, success) values
($Ref_No, \"$dte\", \"FAILURE\")";
$rs = @mysql_query($sql,$conn) or die(mysql_error());



in the db my table is set up as:

RefNo, dte, success

RefNo
Type: Varchar
Length/Values: 32
Default: none
collation: utf8_unicode_ci

all data is being captured as per their various filters but not this column.

it is supposed to look like this:
1-01012010011023-1104-20709236

it looks like this:
-0101201001102

It is thus cutting of the 1, and stops at the second last number before the second dash. 14 characters in total...in stead of the 30 odd it is supposed too.

I first posted this to the wrong forum, newbies, and was told there that it could be that it needs to be set to a unicoding. Thing is that the data displays fine on pages BEFORE being posted to the db, but in the db itself I have the above issue.

Any suggestions?
