We've hit the maximum PHP variable limit on our site. We're getting an error message that says Input variables exceeded 1000. To increase the limit change max_input_vars in php.ini. in Unknown on line 0
How can we increase the max PHP variables?

So in this case, you can resolve this by creating a new PHP directive that defines the maximum variables. This is accomplished by creating a file named .user.ini on your web root directory. All you need to enter into the .user.ini file is:
max_input_vars = 10000
Or whatever value you need. You can double check that this has worked properly by creating a PHP script that only contains the following line:
< ?php phpinfo(); ? >
(note that you will need to eliminate the space between the < and ? symbols)
When you request that file through your web browser you should see the new local value for variables with the heading max_input_vars
