javascript - How to change a jQuery Form POST into a JSON object and Post it instead? -

i building module sugarcrm used many people. on ran probelm when saving info php losing part of post, learned problem caused php ini setting max_input_vars

once increased value set max_input_vars, worked perfect again.

i able set max_input_vars value .htaccess file. have ready cannot set value php function ini_set()

my major concern module used on many different servers used many people.

i need code solution require user nil , still have module go on function correctly.

on post user had recommended alter html form saved info using jquery ajax post backend php script.

he says should alter save info s ending json object php backend script instead of big number of post vars.

does else see solution?

here current frontend code handles save now....

function ajaxsavetasks(){ window.unsavedchanges = false; // display message user saving ajaxstatus.showstatus('saving task changes'); var url = "index.php?module=apoll_web_projects"; // script handle form post. //sugar.ajaxui.showloadingpanel(); jquery('#project_tasks').showloading(showloadingsettings); $.ajax({ type: "post", url: url, data: $("#edittasksform").serialize(), // serializes form's elements. success: function(data) { //alert(data); // show server response //sugar.ajaxui.hideloadingpanel(); hidetaskunsavedchangesheaderbar() jquery('#project_tasks').hideloading(); } }); ajaxstatus.hidestatus(); };

the other user mentions if code modified post form using json instead can around max_input_vars issue altogether. if understand correctly, saying instead of 1,000+ form post variables beingness sent, send 1 variable holds huge giant json string instead...does sound right?

if sounds solution, show me how might accomplish this?

my form page mass adding , editing project task database records, can big , have hundreds of task records update in database.

in code above can see runs $("#edittasksform").serialize() form fields.
