Over the limit

[cff_moiseszaragoza]

I have one of my users say that they cant change there theme because they are over some limit.

01/28/11 13:47:22 [2924][GUID][FATAL] USERPREFERENCE::isPreferenceSizeTooLarge - User preference for user: 'User_name' and category 'global' did not pass size check as it is 6637020 characters long which is too big to save.


01/28/11 13:47:22 [2924][GUID][FATAL] USERPREFERENCE ERROR 00:: User preference for user: 'User_name' and category 'global' is 16 characters long which is too big to save

This is the code that is creating the error for this user


modules/UserPreferences/UserPreference.php

  
function isPreferenceSizeTooLarge($category = 'global',$returnCount=false){
        $user = $this->_userFocus;
        
        //retrieve the user preferences for this category, then serialize and encode the way the string would be stored in db
        if(!isset($_SESSION[$user->user_name . '_PREFERENCES'][$category])){
            $contents='';  
        }else{
            $contents = base64_encode(serialize($_SESSION[$user->user_name . '_PREFERENCES'][$category]));
        }
 
        //log error if string is too large
        if (strlen($contents)>65535){
            $GLOBALS['log']->fatal("USERPREFERENCE::isPreferenceSizeTooLarge - User preference  for user: '$user->user_name' and category '$category' did not pass size check as it is ".strlen($contents)." characters long which is too big to save.");
        }
            
        //check returnCount flag to see whether we return true/false or actual count of content size
        if($returnCount){
            return strlen($contents);
        }elseif (strlen($contents)>65535){
            return true;
        }
        return false;
 
    } 
  

What can i do to make the data be less than 65535 characters?

I mean what data is it looking at?
