With long forms, the form crashes when clicking through / an error occurs

Updated 2026-10-211 min read

Long forms with an average of more than 30 questions require a lot of server performance. Incorrect settings or configurations of PHP or the web server can be the cause of this.

If you create a long form, it can happen that an error occurs when clicking through this form. This is due to incorrect PHP or web server settings. You or your host can edit both settings for you.

We recommend the following PHP settings (minimum requirements) for proper use of Funnelforms with long forms:

  • At least PHP version 7.4
  • Maximum PHP input variables (max_input_vars) = 1000
  • Maximum PHP execution time (max_execution_time) = 360
  • PHP memory limit (memory_limit) = 512M
  • Maximum input time (max_input_time) = 360
  • Maximum file size for upload (upload_max_filesize) = 300M
  • Maximum size of PHP post data (post_max_size) = 300M

In addition, the following Apache web server settings:

  • LimitRequestLine = 8192

If you have configured all these settings accordingly and are still experiencing problems, please contact support.
