I think, that might be the most sophisticated way to deal with it. As long, as the browser is not shuffling the order of the fields in the request, of course. But, this might be worth thinking about, that this is subject to be changed in the PHP behaviour in the next major version. Data being truncated is something no one is expecting. If all, PHP should fail immediately with an Error/Exception stating that there is too much input.
