data retriving problem

[akaki]

Hi Guyes,
I created 2 php files named: 'newOrder.php' & "success.php".
In newOrder.php - I've sevaral textboxes. but in 1 text boxes i m retriving data like this:

<?php
$q = "SELECT vat From customerlist Where Customer_Name ='$cname'";
$r = mysql_query($r);
while($data = mysql_fetch_array($r))
$vat = $data['vat'];
some...php code...?>

<input type="text" name="vat" value="<?php echo $vat;?>" size="10" disabled>
In this text box, value of the "vat" displaying (value such as 25).

And in success.php page, I am retriving & echo like this:
$vat = $_POST['vat'];
echo "Vat Value:".$vat;

But, here the vat value is not displaying. I think value is not passing from "newOrder.php' page. But the rest of values are displaying in success.php page.
So, whats the problem in my simple code?😕

Disabled form elements do not get transmitted with the form data. You may need to include a hidden form element with that data if you want to pass it via the form, or else try using a "readonly" attribute instead of "disabled" for that element.
