Doc #53590 [NEW]: Exact behaviour of max_input_time not described in manual

From: Operating system: PHP version: Irrelevant Package: Documentation problem Bug Type: Documentation Problem Bug description:Exact behaviour of max_input_time not described in manual Description: ------------ The PHP documentation has this to say about the max_input_time directive: "This sets the maximum time in seconds a script is allowed to parse input data, like POST, GET and file uploads." it is difficult to tell from this what time span the setting refers to: The time that the whole request may take (including the time the client needs to upload a possible attached file) or the time after the request has been received, that is needed to parse the received data into temporary files, POST variables and such. I was unable to find any solid information on this anywhere else, and am not proficient enough to understand it from the PHP source code's zend_set_timeout(). I would like to request that this be clarified in the documentation. Thank you.
