$_POST limit?

Hi...

I have a form with almost 500 input text boxes.

It seems like the $_POST variable's limit is 200 boxes, as print_r only
gave me 200 elements.

Has anyone else encountered this? It would be great help. Thanks.

Why don't you try to split the form in multiple pages?

Just tried it with 5000, with no problem.

Do you get any errors?

<?php
if (isset($_POST['input']))
{
print "<pre>";
print_r($_POST['input']);
print "</pre><hr>";
}
?>
<form method='post' action='test.php'>
<?php
for ($i=0; $i<5000; $i++)
print "<input type='text' name='input[$i]' value='$i' size='4'>\n";
?>
<input type='submit'>
</form>

re: $_POST limit?

There is no such limit however there is the post_max_size directive,
and web servers can also limit such sizes (size in bytes, not number of
elements). And who knows, maybe your home computer just ran out of
memory :)
