Checkbox Post Limit

[StormTheGates]

I am having a very odd error that Ive never encountered before. Here is the situation:

 

I have a database table that gets echoed out in rows in a table, with checkboxes for each user.  Everything works fine with only a few users, the entire thing runs normally.

 

However, at exactly the 250th checkbox the form stops POSTing data. For example, given this code snippet:

<?php
$people = $_POST['change'];
var_dump($people);
?>

$people will only ever contain the first 249 checkboxes selected, even if all 400some are. 

 

Does anyone have any idea why this could be, or if there is some type of memory limit I should check? My memory_limit is 512mb and max post size is 500mb

Impossible to say without seeing the code that creates the checkboxes. Is this only an issue when more than 250 are checked or when there are more than 250 period?

it's probably a setting like this one - http://www.hardened-php.net/suhosin/configuration.html#suhosin.post.max_vars

 

why do you have that many chackboxes on one page? who would look at that much info at a time?

 

edit: there's also this php setting (starting in php5.3.9) - http://www.php.net/manual/en/info.configuration.php#ini.max-input-vars
