php script returning NULL for value

[David Wnek]

Im using a simple php webservice to connect to my database. It holds some fairly large fields(.5-2 megs) When i run the query in cmd on the server it pulls the entire field just fine. However while using my script the field returns as NULL. I cant figure out if it's a mysql packet setting, or a php setting?

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Here is my script:
mysql_connect($host, $user, $pass) or die(mysql_error());
mysql_select_db($base) or die(mysql_error());
error_reporting(1);

$query = $_GET['query'];
$result = mysql_query($query)or die(mysql_error());
$rows = array();
while($r = mysql_fetch_assoc($result))
{
$rows[] = $r;
}
print json_encode($rows);
