Create report with more than 42 fields

You’ll want to tweak your PHP configuration (possibly php.ini on your host, ask your host how to modify it), specifically the max_input_vars option.

For each report field, there are something like 10-15 inputs for all of the options available. So that’s around 1050 inputs, which means you want to set your max_input_vars to something more like 1500-2000.

Thanks, Scott. max_input_vars was at 2000, so I bumped it up to 3000 and got two more fields. I bumped it up again to 4000, but there was no improvement, so I’m still unable to add abut 16 fields.

Any other suggestions? My php.ini looks like this:

post_max_size = 64M
upload_max_size = 64M
upload_max_filesize = 64M
memory_limit = 256M
max_execution_time = 300
max_input_time = 1000
max_input_vars = 4000;

Historically this has been resolved with max_input_vars increase.

Try upping the post_max_size or the memory_limit to see if that helps further?

Doubling those two enabled me to add two more fields. Tough one. I’m running out of (your) ideas. 8-(

Is it timing out? Or does it just save those first few only, and loads up the page again without the others?

No timeout. When the page refreshes after pressing Save Changes, the latest added fields are gone. It saves up to some limit.

Is it possible your host is using Suhosin? If so, you could try setting these two other config options to match your max_input_vars

max_input_vars = 4000
suhosin.request.max_vars = 4000
suhosin.post.max_vars = 4000

Alas, not that I know of.

I had planned to refactor the interface so it wasn’t so heavy when submitting, but never got around to doing that. At some point I will be bringing this tool into a Pods interface which will be more easily refactored for this purpose but I don’t have a current plan to redo this plugin in the future. I only plan on adding minor fixes and enhancements until the Pods rewrite.
