I am making an ecommerce web application in Laravel 5.1. While examining the application's admin panel for editing a particular product, I got an exception:
FatalErrorException in Container.php line 1057:
Maximum function nesting level of '100' reached, aborting!
I have implemented Repository Pattern in my application and it is still in development stage.
Here's the stack trace:

The problem is when I try to edit the product from the admin panel, I get the above exception, though I can insert a new product from the admin panel.
I know that I can increase the xdebug.max_nesting_level = 100 to xdebug.max_nesting_level = 500, but this is not what I am looking for. I am developing the application for a client and they, probably, are having their own server. Thus, I cannot use this as my solution.
By doing some research, I was brought to this question: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/8656089/solution-for-fatal-error-maximum-function-nesting-level-of-100-reached-abor, but the accepted answer is using wamp as his server and I am using LAMP.
UPDATE 1: After bit of study of the stack trace, I found that, it is with the form that I am using:
form.blade.php
<div class="row">
<div class="col-md-4 col-sm-6">
<div class="form-group">
{!! Form::label('code', 'Code:') !!}
{!! Form::text('code', null, ['class' => 'form-control input-sm']) !!}
</div>
</div>
<div class="col-md-4 col-sm-6">
<div class="form-group">
{!! Form::label('name', 'Name:') !!}
{!! Form::text('name', null, ['class' => 'form-control input-sm']) !!}
</div>
</div>
<div class="col-md-4 col-sm-6">
<div class="form-group">
{!! Form::label('category_id', 'Category:') !!}
<!-- Here's the error: $categoryList -->
{!! Form::select('category_id[]', $categoryList, null, ['class' => 'form-control input-sm categoryList', 'multiple']) !!}
</div>
</div>
</div>
<div class="row">
<div class="col-md-4 col-sm-6">
<div class="form-group">
{!! Form::label('sort', 'Sort:') !!}
{!! Form::text('sort', null, ['class' => 'form-control input-sm']) !!}
</div>
</div>
<div class="col-md-12 col-sm-12">
<div class="form-group">
{!! Form::label('special_note', 'Special Note:') !!}
{!! Form::textarea('special_note', null, ['class' => 'form-control input-sm ckeditor', 'id' => 'prdSpecialNote'] ) !!}
</div>
</div>
</div>
<div class="form-group">
{!! Form::submit($submitButtonText, ['class' => 'btn btn-primary btn-block', 'id' => $submitButtonId]) !!}
</div>
Product.php
<?php
namespace App;
use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model;
use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\SoftDeletes;
class Product extends Model
{
use SoftDeletes;
/**
* The dates that will be used as Carbon instance
*
* @var array
*/
protected $dates = ['deleted_at'];
/**
* The attributes that are mass assignable.
*
* @var array
*/
protected $fillable = [
'code', 'name', 'description', 'special_note', 'sort', 'display'
];
/**
* The Many-To-Many relationship between the category and
* the product.
*
* @return \Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Relations\BelongsToMany
*/
public function categories()
{
return $this->belongsToMany('App\Category')->withTimestamps();
}
/**
* Get the array of App\Category.
*
* @return array
*/
public function getCategoryIdAttribute()
{
// If I comment this line, the error disappears
// but the category_id field becomes blank
// And if I leave it as it is
// It throws the error exception
return $this->categories->lists('id');
}
}
What / where is the mistake that I have made ?
Any help is highly appreciated. Thanks.
P.S.: I am using Ubuntu 14.04 LTS x64bit Architecture with LAMP installed. Also I am using Form Model Binding.
This mostly happens when you have xdebug installed. That will add some calls to your code and therefore it will override the max nesting level. This is something that happens more often and the only solution right now is to higher up your nesting level. Change the setting xdebug.max_nesting_level in your php.ini file to 250 or 500.
Source: http://xdebug.org/docs/all_settings#max_nesting_level
@bobbybouwmann I am failing to update the php.ini file. The loaded configuration file is /etc/php5/apache2/php.ini.. So as you said, I added the **xdebug.max_nesting_level=500** in the last line and restarted the apache server with the following command in the terminal:
sudo service apache2 restart
It did restarted, but when checked the phpinfo() in the browser, it still showed 100 only. What could be the issue ?
Hello,
solution 1 :
instead use
public function getCategoryIdAttribute()
{
return $this->categories()->lists('id');
}
solution 2 :
dont specify getCategoryIdAttribute inside model just render category list inline in the form
{!! Form::select('category_id[]', \App\User::find( $user->id)->categories()->lists('id'), NULL,['class' => 'form-control input-sm categoryList', 'multiple']) !!}
solution 3 :
change xdebug.max_nesting_level highter as needed
Just restart your vm or pc, that should do it as far as I know
@IamCrazyD i was fall that types of xdebug limit.After solve it i wrote a blog,you can check it.Hope it will help you http://www.kingpabel.com/xdebug-recursion-limit/
@NomaD why you are suggesting me to use option 2 of your own solution ? May I know the reason ??
@IamCrazyD none of above mentioned solutions are approved and suggested globally i am just saying i had same problem and all above solutions stopped error message to appear. in my opinion changing xdebug.max_nesting_level is bad approach, also 2 solution is bit ugly , i found first solution less complicated and better. anyways there is no exact and concrete answer about this problem some says this is caused by form builder, but who knows many of google articles recommend to increase change xdebug.max_nesting_level to 500 reason is that modern frameworks require max_nesting_level to be set higher then default.
@No maD Don't you think that I'll have to add that code again and again to every blade file whenever required ? What I did is I replace the **xdebug.max_nesting_level=100** with **xdebug.max_nesting_level=500**, and the error exception was gone.
@IamCrazyD currently i solved my problem using solution 1 , but if it still appears i will set xdebug.max_nesting_level=500 too. it seems there is no other optimal solution for this.
Please or to participate in this conversation.
