Some times when I editing the form in the form builder then click on Publish or Update I get 500 Server Error?

That’s happen because you hit the limit of input variables that your server configuration allows.

This may happen when you create very very large form.

To increase the number of inputs that your server allow put the following code in your .htaccess

php_value max_input_vars 3000

If you are using the Suhosin patch on your server, you will also need to add this:

php_value suhosin.post.max_vars 3000
php_value suhosin.request.max_vars 3000

If your hosting provider does not allow this modifications in your .htaccess in this case add the following code to your php.ini file:

max_input_vars=3000
