What are some common ways to handle non-editable elements that need to be submitted in a PHP form?

Non-editable elements in a PHP form can be handled by using hidden input fields. These fields allow you to include data that the user cannot see or modify, but will still be submitted with the form. This is useful for including information like user IDs or timestamps that are needed for processing the form data.

<form action="submit.php" method="post">
  <input type="text" name="editable_field" value="Editable Value">
  <input type="hidden" name="non_editable_field" value="Non-Editable Value">
  <input type="submit" value="Submit">
</form>
