Bug #62921 [NEW]: max_input_vars crops total amount of variables, not per nesting level

From: andysh at ukr dot net Operating system: FreeBSD 9.0-RELEASE PHP version: 5.4.6 Package: PHP options/info functions Bug Type: Bug Bug description:max_input_vars crops total amount of variables, not per nesting level Description: ------------ I set in php.ini max_input_vars = 10000 Than I post array which has 100 elements on first level and 105 elements on second level for every first-level element. I expected to receive full array, but it was cropped to 10000 elements. Documentation says: "This limit applies only to each nesting level of a multi-dimensional input array." (http://www.php.net/manual/en/info.configuration.php#ini.max-input-vars). Test script: --------------- <? if (!empty($_POST)) { echo '<pre>'; var_dump($_POST); die; } ?> <form action='' method='POST'> <? for ($i = 0; $i < 100; $i++): ?> <? for ($j = 0; $j < 105; $j++): ?> <input type='text' name='ch[<?= $i ?>][]' value='<?= $j ?>' /> <? endfor; ?> <? endfor; ?> <input type='submit' /> </form> Expected result: ---------------- Array which has: - 1 element on zero level - 100 elements on first level - 105 elements on second level for every first-level element Actual result: -------------- Array has: - 1 element on zero level - 96 elements on first level - 105 elements on second level for first 95 first-level elements - 25 elements on second level for last first-level element Total amount of elements in array is 10000 -- Edit bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=62921&edit=1 -- Try a snapshot (PHP 5.4): https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=62921&r=trysnapshot54 Try a snapshot (PHP 5.3): https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=62921&r=trysnapshot53 Try a snapshot (trunk): https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=62921&r=trysnapshottrunk Fixed in SVN: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=62921&r=fixed Fixed in SVN and need be documented: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=62921&r=needdocs Fixed in release: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=62921&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=62921&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=62921&r=needscript Try newer version: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=62921&r=oldversion Not developer issue: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=62921&r=support Expected behavior: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=62921&r=notwrong Not enough info: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=62921&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=62921&r=submittedtwice register_globals: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=62921&r=globals PHP 4 support discontinued: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=62921&r=php4 Daylight Savings: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=62921&r=dst IIS Stability: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=62921&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=62921&r=gnused Floating point limitations: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=62921&r=float No Zend Extensions: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=62921&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=62921&r=mysqlcfg
