<![CDATA[Alias entry/charactor limit?]]>Greetings,

Is there size/# of entries limit for an alias?

I'm added a large number of subnets into an alias export and then uploaded that into pfsense.  It displays properly but when I try to add items the screen goes white and text appears stating php.ini limitation or something.  Sorry I don't have the text to show.

Thanks ahead of time.

Dino

1. Imported the Alias
2. Navigated to the alias.
3. Clicked '+' to add an entry
4. Added an IP and description.
5. Click save, browser page goes completely white and this is the error that was posted without formatting:

Warning: Unknown: Input variables exceeded 1000. To increase the limit change max_input_vars in php.ini. in Unknown on line 0 Warning: session_start(): Cannot send session cache limiter - headers already sent in /usr/local/www/csrf/csrf-magic.php on line 351 Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent in /usr/local/www/guiconfig.inc on line 48 Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent in /usr/local/www/guiconfig.inc on line 49 Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent in /usr/local/www/guiconfig.inc on line 50 Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent in /usr/local/www/guiconfig.inc on line 51 Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent in /usr/local/www/guiconfig.inc on line 52 Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent in /usr/local/www/guiconfig.inc on line 55 Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent in /usr/local/www/firewall_aliases_edit.php on line 480

THAT is litterally what shows up on the screen.  White screen, the warning up to the 1000, there is a pause of MAYBE a second or two, and then the rest scrolls on the screen.

Thoughts?
