I can't change max_input_vars effectively

I'm trying to translate some categories on prestashop 1.6 using php 5.6. It says the limit of max_input_vars is set to 1000 and that I need to contact godaddy and pay them 40 euros to change it.

(okay it doesn't say that about the money, I added that after contacting their web support :P)

I was wondering if I could do it myself.

I created my own php.ini and put it on public_html

post_max_size = 20000M
upload_max_filesize = 20000M
max_execution_time = 30000
max_input_time = 60000
memory_limit = 8000M
max_input_vars = 8000
suhosin.post.max_vars = 8000
suhosin.request.max_vars = 8000

No dice. Then I put the following lines in .htdocs file

<IfModule mod_suphp.c>
suPHP_ConfigPath /home/vasilonet/php.ini
</IfModule>

Still nothing. The website refuses to allow me to do translations. It still says the limit is 1000.

I haven't even begun using my website and all these php limitations are really bizarre. What's with the small limits? (e.g. 8MB import limit for mysql files, etc)

I also encountered this problem while setting up Uncode Wordpress template. I tried increasing max_input_vars to 3000 in .htaccess, .user.ini and even php.ini of the server. However, the PHP Max Input Vars (allowed) was 999 and highlighted in red. This caused us loosing all our template customization after a while. Finally I solved the issue by adding the following in the php.ini file of the server.

suhosin.post.max_vars=3001
suhosin.request.max_vars=3001

It need to be 3001 in order to get the Effective Max Var (PHP Max Input Vars (allowed)) to 3000 and green. I had tried adding these values to .user.ini and .htaccess, but didn't work.

Based on my latest experience you should check this php manual link:

http://php.net/manual/en/configuration.file.per-user.php

You just have to place one

.user.ini

to the main shop folder and one into the admin folder.

After this you should restart the php/apache service

The following will only work if your php.ini allows you to overwrite the settings.

Based on your question, add these lines to your .htaccess file:

php_value post_max_size = 20000M
php_value upload_max_filesize = 20000M
php_value max_execution_time = 30000
php_value max_input_time = 60000
php_value memory_limit = 8000M
php_value max_input_vars = 8000
php_value suhosin.post.max_vars = 8000
php_value suhosin.request.max_vars = 8000

Hope this will solve your problem.
