What is meaning of "PHP.ini setting "max_input_vars" must be increased to 8000"

[Pente14]

I am trying to use the combinations feature.

And trying to get 1.7 to automatically adjust the pricing according to the selected combinations (which is easy in 1.6 but I cant find how to in 1,7)

 

This error message appears.

I have tried to look in the parameters area for the right place to make the adjustment.

The value of the PHP.ini setting "max_input_vars" must be increased to 8000 in order to be able to submit the product form.

 

Can anyone help?

 

Many thanks

You must be really inexperienced. This subject is all over the web - and not restricted to Prestashop.

php.ini is the settings file of your php installation. You should make your change there.

Thank you for taking the time to answer.

I understand that I am not the brightest in the firmament. 

Now that we have got that out of the way, should I Google php settings or is there any specific advice you could provide?

I think you don't have your own server so contact your hosting or use admin panel of your hosting to increase this value

Hanz ... thanks for an answer I can start to understand.

 

I have been Googling this PHP.ini thing .... and I have ended up more confused than I started.  The topics seem to assume that the reader knows one end of stuff from the other ... and I don't even recognise stuff 

So my question is ..... who do I ask?  And what do I request?

... I feel so dumb

Follow HanzCZ's advice and ask your hosting provider.

There is information about php.ini (http://php.net/manual/en/configuration.file.php) and how to change this file (https://mediatemple.net/community/products/dv/204403894/how-can-i-edit-the-php.ini-file)... But I think it is unencessary to know it for you... So try to contact your hosting provider's support and tell them, you need to increase max_input_vars to at least 8000 and attache your screenshot above. That's all
