[mapserver-users] PHP max_input_vars can effect Mapbender administration and block requests

[Astrid Emde]

Hello,

some of you may have problems saving changes within the Mapbender
administration for example when you have a WMS with many layers. I wrote 
a mail before about Suhosin blocking requests when the Suhosin-variables 
are set too restrictive  [1].

The problem can also occur, when the PHP variable max_input_vars [2] is 
not set.

You may get a log message like this:

"PHP Warning:  Unknown: Input variables exceeded 1000. To increase the limit change max_input_vars in php.ini."


The default of this variable is 1000. If you have WMS with many layer 
you may have to increase this variable.

I added this information to the Mapbender wiki [3][4].
