Submit disabled form input failed to get value

The form looks like this:

<form action="sendmail.php" method="get">
    <input type="text" name="phone" id="phone" data-clear-btn="true">
    <input type="text" name="name" id="name" data-clear-btn="true">
    <input disabled="disabled" type="text" name="textinput-disabled" id="textinput-disabled" placeholder="Text input" value="<?php echo $info;?>">
</form>

$ info = "type1"; and $ info works fine on the form.

but in sendmail.php

$name=$_GET['name'];
$type=$_GET['textinput-disabled'];
$phone=$_GET['phone'];

I am getting name and phone number, but I can’t get the value in textinput-disabled. What is the problem here.

Disabled fields are not sent. You can make it read-only or hidden to get value on submission.



<input readonly type="text" name="textinput-disabled" id="textinput-disabled" placeholder="Text input" value="<?php echo $info;?>">

Expected behavior.

Use instead

<input readonly type="text"...


Or, if you must disconnect for some reason, add a hidden field:

<input disabled="disabled" type="text" name="textinput-disabled" id="textinput-disabled" placeholder="Text input" value="<?php echo $info;?>">
<input type="hidden" name="hidden" value="<?php echo $info;?>">

$name=$_GET['name'];
$type=$_GET['hidden'];
$phone=$_GET['phone'];

Since the disabled input

cannot be submitted in the form, so you can use readonly="readonly"

, so use below:

<input readonly="readonly" type="text" 
       name="textinput-disabled" id="textinput-disabled" 
       placeholder="Text input" value="<?php echo $info;?>">
