max_input_vars

[Aart95]

Like many others I'm getting an error about the max_input_vars which says I need to increase the max_input_vars

I noticed this is a very common problem and read several topics on how to fix them but nothing worked as of yet

 

I contacted my hosting but even they can't manage to fix it (it's been over a week chatting with support daily)

 

I've added a php.ini file with the following content to my root folder: max_input_vars=5000

My inf.php says max_input_vars is actually 5000, yet I'm still receiving the error in my BO

 

My hosting company send me this screenshot: http://screenshot.ru...edab8ef5b974ea2

And told me: "You can try check the code of your cms it is possible that error is in it ."

 

Thanks

You can use this free module to see php.ini values at 'runtime' of ps.

open your .htaccess file and add php_value max_input_vars 4000 on the top, it works for me

Thanks. max_input_vars still seems to be 1000 meaning ps isn't responding to the ini.php

Often there is more than one php.ini file and it may take some effort to find out which one is the right one. Also watch that you have uncommented max_input_vars in the file.

 

PHP has the phpinfo() command with which you can see all its settings including max_input_vars.

as musicmaster pointed out, where the php.ini is being served 'from' is critical, the module will tell you where php.ini is served from.  It's important to note that some hosting will override values in php.ini, i.e. it would not matter if you change value or not.
