How's that? :-)

As Sergey mentions, you can't do it 'directly' from php. But you can output the appropriate javascript that will do so.

I don't construct pages in php using string concatenation, preferring the DOM methods myself. But in any case, you can achieve the task with the following:

HTML
<td>
  <button onclick="get_accept('<?php echo $data['id'];?>'); this.disabled='disabled';">Accept</button>
</td>


You can see it in action with the simplest of pages:
HTML
<html>
  <head>
  </head>
  <body>
    <button onclick="this.disabled='disabled';">Disable Me</button>
  </body>
</html>



Here's a page that demonstrates it further:

PHP
<?php
	$myButtonText = "click me if you can!";
?>

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
  <head>
  <script>
	function get_accept(input)
	{
		alert(input);
	}
	function changeText(el)
	{
		el.innerHTML = '<?php echo $myButtonText;?>';
	}
  </script>
  </head>
  <body>
    <button onclick="changeText(this); get_accept('<?php echo $myButtonText;?>'); this.disabled='disabled';">Disable Me</button>
  </body>
</html>

thanks for help but it is not working. i tried earlier this.disabled='disabled' but it is not working on my page,and second example that you given it working only untill we dont refresh the page when we refresh the page then it will clickable.

Yes, it is working - just fine over here in fact.
Please see my edited solution above.

It will disable the button and change it's text using php variables.
'this' is sensitive to scope - you can use it in an event handler, but not in a function called from an event handler. Hence the passing of the 'this' param in my newer code.

My 5 for the answer. Looking at OP's reply to both your and my answers, she/he cannot get it; I don't know what else to say...

There is no such thing as "click in PHP". :-)
And you cannot "disable a button" in PHP. PHP is server side, it only generates the HTML page, and only with JavaScript you can disable or enable elements.

What's the problem? For example, see this article with samples:
http://www.codetoad.com/javascript/enable_disable_form_element.asp[^].

This is only because you did not clearly realized your problem.
