PHP post variable isn't returning the whole string value of the hidden input field after submission?

Question

I have this input field that is hidden named loginfo containing this value, after submission, I only get half of the value, and I set the maxlength to 20000

<input type="hidden" name="loginfo" value='<?=  $user_log_info ?>' maxlength="2000" />

Cookie Info: a:20:{s:11:"NO_TRACKING";s:4:"true";s:9:"PHPSESSID";s:26:"pvbmhif06sd25584sl75tl7qs3";s:13:"orig_referrer";s:29:"http://dev-sti.planetart.com/";s:5:"email";s:23:"[email protected]";s:12:"cookie_check";s:4:"done";s:15:"recently_viewed";s:5:"23795";s:15:"user_last_paper";s:2:"CS";s:24:"user_last_size_RECTANGLE";s:3:"5x7";s:18:"user_last_quantity";s:2:"25";s:7:"cart_id";s:32:"64a0d1346aff6ff6aeb7f6a78c9ad156";s:23:"shopping_cart_tmp_items";s:1:"0";s:23:"shopping_cart_act_items";s:1:"1";s:12:"_uslk_visits";s:1:"1";s:14:"_uslk_referrer";s:29:"http://dev-sti.planetart.com/";s:18:"_uslk_bootstrapped";s:1:"1";s:8:"_uslk_ct";s:1:"0";s:8:"_uslk_co";s:1:"0";s:12:"_uslk_active";s:1:"0";s:22:"_uslk_page_impressions";s:2:"45";s:15:"_uslk_app_state";s:6:"Idle;0";},User ID: 817239, User Name: Semirindi, User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.3; WOW64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/39.0.2171.71 Safari/537.36, \nUser  IP address: 127.0.0.1, \nUser session ID: pvbmhif06sd25584sl75tl7qs3,CART ID:64a0d1346aff6ff6aeb7f6a78c9ad156

So when I do var_dump($_POST['loginfo']), I only get half of the string instead of all. This is the output of the var_dump($_POST['info']) .. any idea why ?

string 'Cookie Info: a:20:{s:11:"NO_TRACKING";s:4:"true";s:9:"PHPSESSID";s:26:"pvbmhif06sd25584sl75tl7qs3";s:13:"orig_referrer";s:29:"http://dev-sti.planetart.com/";s:5:"email";s:23:"[email protected]";s:12:"cookie_check";s:4:"done";s:15:"recently_viewed";s:5:"23795";s:15:"user_last_paper";s:2:"CS";s:24:"user_last_size_RECTANGLE";s:3:"5x7";s:18:"user_last_quantity";s:2:"25";s:7:"cart_id";s:32:"64a0d1346aff6ff6aeb7f6a78c9ad156";s:23:"shopping_cart_tmp_items";s:1:"0";s:23:"shopping_cart_act_items";s:1:"1";s:12:'... (length=1057)

And also the result of validating the generated page: validator.w3.org — Bob Brown

Try this instead value="<?= htmlspecialchars($user_log_info) ?>" — Phil

Have a look at your post_max_sizevariable's value. Maybe you need to adjust its value.

Have a look at this comment on PHP Documentation

@BobBrown it didn't fix it .. I changed the post_max_size to 16M and it didn't fix it . it was set to 8

@SemiM can you please open your browser's console, locate the POST request and copy&paste here the Headers?

@SemiM You have to switch to the Network tab and then select the POST request
