Hello,
I’m having some issues with POST http request on my host’s web server. Sometimes I’m getting 403 Forbidden response, and it seams that this happens just when I submit more data, because with small POST request, for example with login form, it works OK. Can it be that there is some size limit in Apache or PHP config ? What should I look for ?
milko,
The default PHP installation has:
; Maximum size of POST data that PHP will accept.
post_max_size = 8M
It’s quite possible that I increased that from 1M ages ago but there is a limit (php.ini) and your host will be controlling that. In other words, that’s a question for your host.
Regards,

Does the “more data” include a file, or just additional fields that were POSTed?
Another possibility, besides the one mentioned above by David, is that your host is running mod_security. This Apache Module runs POST vars through checks and determines whether or not to accept them or pass the request on to a 403 Forbidden page.
Putting a phpinfo() together might help us come to a better conclusion.
<?php phpinfo(); ?>
