php - laravel textbox disabled field mandetory -

my textbox code

<tr valign="top"> <td>{{ form::label('city', 'city:') }}</td> <td colspan="3"> {{ form::text('city', 'united states', array('class' => 'field','disabled')) }} @if($errors->first('city'))<br/><span class="error">{{ $errors->first('city') }}</span>@endif </td> </tr> 

model profile.php

public static $rules = array(         'first_name' => 'required|max:32',         'city' => 'required|max:1',         ); 

already city fields have value united states , still validation showing "the city field required." , mistake did here.. frnds..

you disabled form field on front side only!
attribute disabled on input element tells user cannot edit or change value.

check rules

public static $rules = array(     'first_name' => 'required|max:32',     'city' => 'required|max:1', ); 

you still insist city should required. assume not pass value form validation checkpoint. check code on there.
