It's a 'disabled' attribute you want to set, http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-html40/interact/forms.html#adef-disabled
Perhaps:
$html_params = array("disabled" => "TRUE");
I tried w/: $html_params = array("disabled" => "");
BUT if it is disabled, at submitting, validation fails. (Missing value)
I had to do this recently for another client. What I ended up with was editing the edit form for users to show the normal textfield input if the user had admin users permission, and to print the value as text along with a hidden field that contains the same information. That way it still got passed back to the form handler, but it was still not user editable through normal means. Of course, while quick and easy it was also a security hole (save HTML, edit the hidden input field, resubmit), but it was an internal app so that was less of a concern. :-) I would recommend also putting the same if(user_access()) call in the form processing function. The total number of changes should be under 10 lines, once you find the right spots in the code. The 4.7 way does sound considerably cleaner. :-) --Larry Garfield
