Question

I would like to check the type of an input field text is. Cause i only want to make thos fields read only. I know i can do this in javascript, but is there any way that this is possible in php?

best regrads.

Answer 1

To disable an input field add disabled attribute:

 disabled="disabled"

This has to be done when generating the html or with javascript after generation.

This is a clean way of doing it and the user sees directly that it is just readable but not editable.

When you submit a form, in php you take the name attribute to get the posted value. Say you have

<input name="address" type="text">

In php:

if($_POST['address']){
   //don't process address cause you know this is of type text
}
