Description:
------------
Creating a purchase order system for my company, I needed to create pages that captured as many as 100 input fields (mostly text) per form submit. Doing so, The first post variable would have a key corruption and the IIS Services would need to be reset (either that or wait about 30 minutes for php to be able to accept any type of user input again).

I have found the solution, finally, to be in the php.ini file.  Though in 5.0 max_input_nesting_level  was omitted by ;   , a change from 4.0, yet there is still a default of 60 if you look at phpinfo with ;max_input_nexting_level = 60  in the file. The ; isn't enough and it's not enough to set it to 0, I had to set it to an absurdly large number (I used 300).  I'm leaving this because it's still a bug and someone needs to know about this.
