[FX.php List] Needing to roll back to earlier version of 5.2

[Bob Patin]

Hey Michael,

Thanks… I finally discovered that 5.2 doesn’t have a value called ‘max_input_vars’, but 5.3 does, and this client’s web app (which I didn’t write) was passing thousands of vars in one POST. Once I changed that value from 1000 to 2000, it fixed the problem.
