Unable to make drop down option box read only-CodePudding

I am trying to make my a dropdown box read-only and no matter what I do, I can't seem to make it read-only.

Non working code.

<?php 
if($_SESSION['id'] == $all_information['complain_from']){ ?>
    <select name="complain_form" class="custom-select">
        <option value="<?php echo $all_information['complain_from']; ?>" readonly><?php echo $_SESSION['real_name']; ?></option>
    </select>
<?php }else{ ?>
    <select name="complain_form" class="custom-select">
        <option value="" disabled selected>Select a name</option>
<?php
foreach($all_account_info as $account_info){ ?>
        <option value="<?php echo $account_info['id']; ?>" <?php if($all_information['complain_from'] == $account_info['id']){ echo 'selected="selected"'; } ?> readonly>
<?php 
    echo $account_info['real_name']; 
?>
        </option>
    </select>

CodePudding user response：

If you only want to show a selected value in a <select> element you can set the disabled attribute for that <select>:

<select name="complain_form" class="custom-select" disabled>
<option value="<?php echo $all_information['complain_from']; ?>"><?php echo $_SESSION['real_name']; ?></option>
</select>

This will grey out the <select> and nothing will happen when clicking it
