Looks like the upper one is the "Local Value" (which is the one in effect)

<p>I just made a change on my server (DigitalOcean w/ ServerPilot) which resulted in a double-value... Before my change, there was only a single value.</p>

<p>I can confirm that <strong>the top value is overriding the bottom value</strong>.</p>

<p>My server default was set to 1000. I used a <code>.user.ini</code> file to override that to 5000.</p>

<p>When two values are displayed for PHP Info, what does that mean? For example,<img src="https://i.sstatic.net/pXRwR.png" alt="memory_limit 256M/128M"></p>

<p>Why the two values?</p>

What do the values in /admin/utils/phpinfo mean?

It's probably a formatting bug in Craft. We're parsing the output of a call to [phpinfo()](http://php.net/manual/en/function.phpinfo.php), so one of them is probably coming from the "Local Value" column and the other is coming from the "Master Value" column.

![max_input_vars](https://i.sstatic.net/iuufU.png)

I can confirm that **the top value is overriding the bottom value**.

My server default was set to 1000. I used a `.user.ini` file to override that to 5000.
