Is there a way not to process fields with a “display:none” style ? The fields are dynamically hidden using javascript but are processed normally in PHP.
I’m looking for a PHP solution (no javascript).

Depending on how your form is structured, it might be a viable method to remove the
nameattribute of the hidden inputs. in whatever Javascript you use to hide the input, add this line:Inputs without a name are not submitted with the form. If you might need to revert back (and show the inputs again), you might want to think about storing the name somewhere retrievable: perhaps use the same
nameas theidon each element, or store it into the element’sclassattribute somewhere.A better idea, as suggested by Colin, would be to disable the element instead. This will have the same effect as removing its name, however it would be much easier to revert, should you need to.
