note 124911 added to info.configuration

The max_input_vars setting is defined as "How many input variables may be accepted" but this is not completely correct. There is a +1 factor. For example, if the value is 2 then the $_POST array can have up to 3 elements, if it is 1000 then it can have 1001 elements, and so on. I want to stop the execution of the php code when there is a chance that some data was not received. Therefore, instead of relying on the standard E_WARNING, I do this in my code. <?php $max_input_vars = ini_get('max_input_vars'); if (count($_POST) === $max_input_vars + 1) { // note the +1 here throw new Exception(); } ?> If the size of the $_POST array reaches the maximum then there is the chance that there was more data so it is better to stay on the safe side and increase the config value. ---- Server IP: 45.112.84.4 Probable Submitter: 38.142.137.34 (proxied: 220.253.127.73) ---- Manual Page -- http://php.net/manual/en/info.configuration.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/124911 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/124911/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/124911/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/124911/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/124911/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/124911/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/124911/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/124911 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/124911 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
