How to change max_input_vars

Question

I have a form with over 1000 inputs, it shows warning below:

Warning: Unknown: Input variables exceeded 1000. To increase the limit change max_input_vars in php.ini. in Unknown on line 0

I have changed max_input_vars to more than 1500 in php.ini file but it does not take effect and shows the same error.

My project details:

• Server: Localhost XAMP
• PHP version: 5.5.15
• System OS: windows 7

How can I clear this warning?

Answer 1

ASH's suggested

ini_set('max_input_vars','2000' );

but this never work with ini_set. You need to set it with php.ini or .htaccess file only.

Answer 2

Add below code in your .htaccess file

php_value max_input_vars 2000

you can change value of 2000 to as per your need
