html disabled input text post form

Question

That's my test code :

<?php
if(isset($_POST['Submit']))
{
    if(isset($_POST['Est1'])) echo 'Est1 : ' . $_POST['Est1'] . '<br>';
    if(isset($_POST['Est2'])) echo 'Est2 : ' . $_POST['Est2'] . '<br>';
    if(isset($_POST['Est3'])) echo 'Est3 : ' . $_POST['Est3'] . '<br>';
    if(isset($_POST['Est4'])) echo 'Est4 : ' . $_POST['Est4'] . '<br>';
}
?>
<form method="post">
    <input type="text" name="Est1" id="Val1" value=""/>
    <input type="text" name="Est2" id="Val2" value=""/>
    <input type="text" name="Est3" id="Val3" value=""/>
    <input type="text" name="Est4" id="Val4" value="test" disabled="disabled"/>
    <input type="submit" name="Submit" value="Submit" />
</form>

In this form, when I send the value of the input Est4 is never returned: isset($_POST['Est4']) return false!

Why ?

If you want it to be able to be read but not changed and still posted use the `readonly` attribute — Alex, Jul 11 '14 at 15:19
Disabled inputs do not post their values, use javascript to undisable it before sending or use the readonly attribute. — Valentin Mercier, Jul 11 '14 at 15:20

Change your disabled by readonly:

<input type="text" name="Est4" id="Val4" value="test" readonly/>
