How to change max_input_vars
ASH's suggested
ini_set('max_input_vars','2000' );
but this never work with ini_set. You need to set it with php.ini or .htaccess file only.
Add below code in your .htaccess file
php_value max_input_vars 2000
you can change value of 2000 to as per your need
For CentOs server - Search for php.ini file loaded using below command :
php -i | grep "Loaded Configuration File"
It displays's the loaded configuration file as per below :
Loaded Configuration File => /etc/php.ini
Edit the file using vi / vim any command, search for : max_input_vars
Default value shall : 1000, Change it to : 2000 or as per your requirement and Restart the PHP on server.
Works like charm for me always.
