ajax post json to php not receiving all data

Question

When I try to post to a php file, some data of JSON file are lost. I have a JSON-file with 1100 entries. On my server, I can only add 333 entries. On another server, I can add 1000 entries. Do I have to change my server configuration?

JSON File has 1100 entries (users)

Jquery:

$.post(
  'store.php',
  {json:usersJSON},
  {contentType: "application/json"}, 
  function() {
    alert(data);
  });

PHP:

$JSON = $_POST['json'];
echo json_encode($JSON);

on one server, this echoes 333 entries, on the other server, it echoes 1000 entries

Can you confirm that you are sending the same data to both servers? — cwallenpoole

If it's a JSON file, why are'nt you just getting it with PHP ? — adeneo

Check the php.ini for post_max_size and check PHP error log for any errors — Manse

before you can use json_encode need to first use json_decode to turn string received into array — charlietfl

The problem was max_input_vars in my php.ini file. It was set to 1000. That means I could add a json-file with 1000 entries with one field, or 500 entries with 2 fields,...

I set max_input_vars to 5000, now I can post a json-file with 1666 entries with 3 fields.

How large are your entries? It might be the server limiting your posts. Try looking at the post_max_size directive in php.ini

entries are under 5mb, as they are locally stored in html5 localStorage. post_max_size is 8mb ...

This is probably due to your server's configuration. Check php.ini for the setting max_post_size and ensure that it is sufficiently large to post your data. Also check your web server settings - Apache has a LimitRequestBody directive which could be causing your problem. Finally, check your web server and PHP error logs to see if the large post is triggering any errors.

post_max_size is 8 mb. JSON File is under 8 MB, as it is stored in localStorage. I will check the LimitRequestBody directive

So I changed post_max_size to 20M, without any change. I looked for LimitRequestBody in my httpd.conf and htaccess, but didn't find it. Tried to add LimitRequestBody 0 in my httpd.conf, without change? Any other ideas?

@TomBroucke Not on top of my head, sorry. Have you looked in the link that i posted?

My json-file is like: {"users":[{"name":"myName","email":"myEmail","comment":"myComment"}]} This way, I can get 333 items to my PHP-file. If i only add the name, I can send 1000 items to my PHP-file. I tried to edit max_input_vars (was 1000 originally). It changed in PHP.ini, but it's still 1000 if I check phpinfo()

max_input_vars was still commented, but still no change
