How does zen_set_field_length() work?

[TheOracle]

Also, need to look at what rights are granted to the MySQL user in each case.... is it "ALL" rights, or is it selectively granted only certain specific rights?

I believe they're actually under specific rights. Would that provoque an impact over zen_set_field_length ?

Since, when I use other PHP scripts, I can easily use arrays that allows me to gather the right length value.

For instance;

$setting['length_size'] 

I can call it under an HTML Form without any problems. Let's buld an example:

<FORM action="http://www.mysite.com/file.php" METHOD="post">
<input type="hidden" name="action" value="test">
<input type="text" name="test_field" size="<?php echo $setting['length_size']; ?>">
</form>

Then, when I refresh my page, I can actually see that the size has changed.

Althought, when I properly use the zen_set_field_length module over Zen-Cart, I modify the value number (under the parenthese) and the value does show differently (from view-source). Althought, the textarea, for instance, does not expand further when I increase the value. This is what it is all about actually.

I'm trying to see if there's a modulation handling error from zen_set_field_length under includes/functions/functions_general.php file but I'm not that good to work under these types of functions.

I just wish there was, actually, a way to make the transcription work correctly once we, either, increase or decrease the numeric value under that module. Unfortunitely, others, (not alot but a few), has also reported this problem as I thought I was the only one encountering it. Quite strange.
