Description:
------------
I recently made a mistake in php.ini file
I have typed
post_max_size=24MB 

Php took this as 24 bytes. Maybe the checking should be stricter there too. 

The warning was not very clear it was like
Warning Unknown() Actual POST size did not match Contnet-Lenigh and exceding 24 bytes.

Warning should be error and it should be clear like
"Size of Post message exceded maximum allowed size of 24bytes"

Old request is old.

Current message is
> POST Content-Length of $X bytes exceeds the limit of $Y bytes
which sounds clear to me.

But the "unknown" is nonsense and annoying for many years given that this can be set per directory and php for sure knows the called script
