Disabled input fields and radio buttons

[eluser]swissbastian[/eluser]
Hi there

I'd like to have a form in which some fields, in my case radio buttons, aren't enabled if there's a specific reason. I thought I could check these reasons and then set a radio button disabled if necessary.

Now, if I check the values of the submitted form like that

Code:

if ($this->input->post('radiobutton')

I should be able to get the submitted data into my update array if the button's enabled. If it was disabled $this->input->post('radiobutton') should return FALSE, am I right?

I'm wondering because the data's not submitted if the buttons not disabled.

Does anyone know the behaviour of this function when dealing with disabled input fields?

You are correct in thinking that disabled fields will return false if you use input->post (it's one of the advantages of using it over using $_POST).

Can it be that $this->input->post also returns FALSE when I submit the value 0 (zero) with the radio button?

yeap that's right it's a same FALSE
