Bug description:max_input_vars corrupt posted data
Description:
------------
When you post some data to the php script where are more variables than
limit in max_input_vars the php script does not get any information that
php don't put any of data to the system variables (for example
$_REQUEST[]).
There is only "PHP Warning" generated but the php script is still running
without any problem with corrupted dataset from post.
Solution will be to stop executing the script if max_input_vars is
reached.
Without stoping the script you are working with currupted dataset and you
can make some data inconsistencies in your aplication without any
knowledge.
Test script:
---------------
max_input_vars = 1
sending post: test.php?a=1&b=2&c=3
print_r($_REQUEST);
Expected result:
----------------
Stop the script if max_input_vars is reached.
Actual result:
--------------
Array
(
[a] => 1
)
