Configuring php.ini in Homestead

Question

I am trying to change the variable max_input_vars in my php.ini file by specifying

; How many GET/POST/COOKIE input variables may be accepted
max_input_vars = 2500

and running

sudo nginx -s reload

Even though I set this variable to 2500 on both my local machine (C:\xampp\php\php.ini) and on Homestead (/etc/php5/fpm/php.ini), I keep receiving the following error message

  parse_str(): Input variables exceeded 1000. To increase the limit change max_input_vars in php.ini

I know .htaccess overrides php.ini on a per site basis, are there any other files which override php.ini? Are there any other services that need to be reloaded after changing the php.ini file?

On the latest laravel homestead, php.ini is located in

/etc/php/7.0/fpm/php.ini

(Make sure you enter into ssh in to the homestead environment)

try to edit it using

sudo su

Have you tried this?

ini_set('max_input_vars', 2500);

At the beginning of this file bootstrap/autoload.php

Thank you for the suggestion! Yes, I tried calling that method, but it didn't seem to make a difference. Can you think of anything else that might work instead? – jstein Sep 24 '15 at 13:14
Sure, remember change "max_input_vars" and "post_max_size" too. Try it. – rigobcastro Sep 24 '15 at 15:00
No luck. Would I need to change the HandleExceptions class so that it doesn't throw an error if there are more than 1000 input vars? – jstein Sep 28 '15 at 20:15
Do you have any xdebug error? If this is your case then place this code ini_set('xdebug.max_nesting_level', 120); in the top of bootstrap/autoload.php – rigobcastro Sep 29 '15 at 17:59
Well it turns out that adding my application to the hosts file and the .env file fixed the problem. For some reason the max_input_vars is only an issue when running off `php artisan serve`. I am going to accept this as the correct answer, but if you have any insight into where the configuration file is for `php artisan serve`, I would be interested in hearing it. – jstein Sep 30 '15 at 01:55

I also learned that the command `php --ini` displays the loaded configuration files and values – jstein Oct 01 '15 at 16:24
The second argument must be a string: http://php.net/manual/en/function.ini-set.php. .htaccess seems to be required: https://stackoverflow.com/a/14166562/5296404 – Pierre Cordier Jun 19 '18 at 10:27

SSH to the virtual machine:

homestead ssh

The latest version of PHP in Homestead is 7.1. Edit the corresponding php.ini file:

sudo vim /etc/php/7.1/fpm/php.ini

Search for max_input_vars and change its value.
