Hey guys,
How do I retrieve a the php value stored in the textbox?

EG
<input disabled="disabled" type="text" size="25" name="dob" value="<?php echo $row["DOB"] ?>" />

I have tried to use

$dateOfBirth = $_POST["dob"];
echo $dateOfBirth


But however it does not work. It works when its something like this:

<input disabled="disabled" type="text" size="25" name="dob" value="Hello" />

Can someone help ASAP. Thank you in advance

If the input field is disabled, then its value is not stored in $_POST

May I see the rest of the code?

Ahhh Yea, how would i store the value if i disabled the textbox, because when i got rid of the disabled it actually worked.

You can use the readonly attribute; the content won't be editable and it will still display in the textbox.
