Bug #52239 [Opn->Bgs]: Maximum 127 form fields

Edit report at http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=52239&edit=1 ID: 52239 Updated by: rasmus@php.net Reported by: derek at darkcolors dot com Summary: Maximum 127 form fields -Status: Open +Status: Bogus Type: Bug Package: Arrays related Operating System: Linux PHP Version: 5.3.2 New Comment: There is no such limit in PHP. All I can think of is that your browser limits the number of upload fields. I tested this in Firefox and it worked fine both for 1000 text fields and 1000 file upload fields. My test case looked like this: <?php print_r($some_file); ?> <form action="ff.php" method="POST"> <input type=submit> <input type="text" name="some_file[]" value="/Users/rasmus/foo.txt"> ...999 more identical lines... </form> And my output was: Array ( [0] => /Users/rasmus/foo.txt [1] => /Users/rasmus/foo.txt [2] => /Users/rasmus/foo.txt [3] => /Users/rasmus/foo.txt [4] => /Users/rasmus/foo.txt [5] => /Users/rasmus/foo.txt ... [995] => /Users/rasmus/foo.txt [996] => /Users/rasmus/foo.txt [997] => /Users/rasmus/foo.txt [998] => /Users/rasmus/foo.txt [999] => /Users/rasmus/foo.txt Since there is no 128 field limit in the code and it works perfectly for me against PHP 5.3.2 running on Linux as in your report, I am pretty sure this is not a PHP issue. Try another browser or look for other causes.

Now will it appear as the actual variable name if register globals is on. SUHOSIN is not turned on. I'm sending the form as POST. No error is reported anywhere. Test script: --------------- <form action="manage_site" method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data"> <input type="file" name="some_file[]> <input type="file" name="some_file[]> <input type="file" name="some_file[]> ...... <input type="file" name="some_file[]> <input type="submit"> </form> -------------------------- print_r($_FILES[some_file]); // Will post only info for the first 127 files. Expected result: ---------------- PHP should accept an unlimited number of form fields and return them as the usual variables--or at least give a way for us to overrule this default limit of 127 fields. Actual result: -------------- Only the first 127 array elements are saved form an html form POST. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=52239&edit=1
