Drummin Posted December 13, 2011 Share Posted December 13, 2011 Make it a hidden field. Any text can be highlighted and copied. <input type="hidden" size="40" name="security_code" value="72o936GRWD" readonly=""> Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/253104-form-field-not-copyable/#findComment-1297561 Share on other sites More sharing options...
premiso Posted December 13, 2011 Share Posted December 13, 2011 I would say trying is just wasting your time. Perhaps a better way of doing it is available. Mind explaining what the security_code does and why you do not want people to be able to copy it?

SergeiSS Posted December 13, 2011 Share Posted December 13, 2011 You may put transparent DIV above this input. Set DIV's size equal to input's size, set z-index of this DIV more... But I can't understand. User see it and can enter these letters into another input, text editor etc. It's possible also look into the page code and copy this code very easy.

litebearer Posted December 13, 2011 Share Posted December 13, 2011 Presuming you (1) do NOT want the user to see the 'security code'; and (2) you want to pass the 'security code' to your processing and/or other page, simply try storing it in a session variable Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/253104-form-field-not-copyable/#findComment-1297591 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Philip Posted December 13, 2011 Share Posted December 13, 2011 http://www.phpfreaks.com/tutorial/php-add-text-to-image If you don't store it as an image, it'd be super easy for a bot to scrape it and thus make your field pointless.
