Question

I have two text inputs and I am trying to insert their values into my SQL database, but for some reason when i preset the input tags with any value ( numeric or alphabetical ) my ‘$_POST’ if statements fail to pick them up on the next page.

<form action="select-process2.php" method="post" name="phoneselect">  

<td><input name="B1-Name" maxlength="40" type="text" value="999" disabled="disabled"/></td>
<td><input name="B1-Target" maxlength="15" type="text" value="999" disabled="disabled"/></td>

</form>

select_process2.php is where I try and capture the posted values from my form, the code for which is below:

        if (isset($_POST['B1-Name']))
            { $B1name = $_POST['B1-Name'];

                if (isset($_POST['B1-Target']))
                { $B1target = $_POST['B1-Target'];
    }
}

echo "$B1name<br />";
echo "$B1target<br />";

Its at this point that I would normally see the passed values of my inputs, however if they have the reset value=”999″ like in the earlier code block it simply fails and I can’t see why, does anyone have any ideas?

The fields are disabled so they won’t be included in the submitted data.

You might be looking for readonly instead.
