Make Checkbox Readonly Mode with PHP

Question

Here is my code. How can I make my checkbox readonly mode so that user cannot edit again?

<input type="checkbox" id="tog_gmat"
       <?php 
           if($gmat_flag == 1) 
              {
                echo "checked";
              } 

        ?> 
class="chk" value="GMAT">

You can add attribute disabled="disabled". But be aware that disabled checkbox does not send value via POST.

Just return false when clicked

<input type="checkbox" onclick="return false" id="tog_gmat" <?php if($gmat_flag == 1){echo "checked";} ?> class="chk" value="GMAT">

Or with jQuery.

$('#tog_gmat').on('click', function() {
    return false;
})

Update

<input type="checkbox" id="tog_gmat" <?php if($gmat_flag == 1){echo "checked onclick='return false'";} ?> class="chk" value="GMAT">

Use that first method `onclick="return false"`. – Sougata Bose Feb 05 '16 at 12:08
If i use that method means even in case of unchecked.we cannot edit checkbox right???? – Kavya Shree Feb 05 '16 at 12:13
