PHP Warning: POST Content-Length of 113 bytes exceeds the limit of -1988100096 bytes in Unknown
On some 32bit systems PHP will take the memory settings like 2000M
or 2G
and convert it to the integer number of bytes by not performing a boundary check. A number starting at 2G
or 2048M
will be -2147483648
bytes then.
Some PHP versions cap this at the top, so it won't go into negative numbers (that is the 32 bit signed integer limit).
If you want to achieve the maximum possible number of bytes on such a system then, use 2147483647
. This is equal to two gigabytes minus one byte.
Alternatively if you need to deal with large data, consider a 64bit system.
Additionally you should consider the following:
According to the PHP manual, the memory_limit
setting is the more important one. If it does not offer enough memory, the post-data size-check then will pass, but PHP would not have enough memory to actually handle the post-data. You will get another error than, that the memory exceeded. So when you configure your PHP, take care that post_max_size
is smaller than memory_limit
.
In your example the memory_limit
is 128M
, so it can not process post-data of a size larger than ~128 Megabyte.
(This blog post shows what can happen and how large memory settings on 32bit and 64bit systems behave)
It looks like your "2000M" is exceeding the integer limit. From the manual:
PHP allows shortcuts for bit values, including K (kilo), M (mega) and G (giga). PHP will do the conversions automatically if you use any of these. Be careful not to exceed the 32 bit signed integer limit (if you're using 32bit versions) as it will cause your script to fail.
try a smaller value, say 1000M
. 2 Gigabytes of incoming data are probably unlikely anyway.
