title: max_input_vars .htaccess causing 500 error
body: <p>I have a large form that is being updated in Wordpress with the plugin spitting out an error saying the max_input_vars is set to 1000. The site is on a shared host and tech support have updated the max_input_vars to 2000 in the php.ini, I have verified this.</p>
  
  <p>I'm trying to add the following to the .htaccess to see if that helps the issue but receive a 500 error, probably bad syntax.</p>
  
  <pre><code>php_value max_input_vars 2000
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Would I need to include this line of code in any particular format, am I missing something? Full .htaccess example below.</p>
  
  <pre><code># BEGIN WordPress
  &lt;IfModule mod_rewrite.c&gt;
  RewriteEngine On
  RewriteBase /
  RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
  RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
  RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
  RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
  &lt;/IfModule&gt;
  
  # END WordPress
  
  #php_value max_input_vars 2000
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Currently the max_input_vars is commented out so it doesn't cause the 500 error.</p>
  
  <p>Any help would be much appreciated.</p>
  
  <p>Cheers</p>
