Bug #63098 [Opn]: max_input_vars master value preferred over local

Edit report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=63098&edit=1 ID: 63098 User updated by: xpipe at hotmail dot de Reported by: xpipe at hotmail dot de Summary: max_input_vars master value preferred over local Status: Open Type: Bug Package: Scripting Engine problem Operating System: Windows Server 2012 PHP Version: 5.4.7 Block user comment: N Private report: N New Comment: Nevermind, I missed that these values are PHP_INI_PERDIR and cannot be set using the registry method thus. Using .user.ini it worked. Be that as it may, it's somewhat confusing if PHP shows a local value applied in phpinfo() whilst that value has no effect. Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2012-09-16 12:10:09] xpipe at hotmail dot de Description: ------------ I'm running the latest phpMyAdmin which requires a high enough value of max_input_vars in order to work. Having lowered the value to 200 globally in the php.ini, since no other site of mine would require a higher value, I had to increase value for it. I did so using the "per directory" settings registry key and verified in phpinfo() that the change was applied. Now my problem is that if max_input_vars is 1000 locally, but only 200 as master value it fails, but if I increase it to 300 in the php.ini (local value remains the same) it works. From my understanding of the documentation however, the value should be changeable locally and the master value should be of no difference if I overwrite the setting for a folder. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=63098&edit=1
