The limit is across all nesting levels. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2012-08-24 10:06:25] andysh at ukr dot net 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 this bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=62921&edit=1
