Hi,

I my module, I've created a form that works perfectly when #method value is get - I access parameters with $_GET array.

When I change this value to post, I can't retrieve parameters with $_POST array - it is empty.

I think this is due to the type of item I have set in my hook menu :

    $items[] = array(
      'path' => 'result_page',
      'title' => 'Search results',
      'callback' => 'results',
      'access' => true,
      'type' => MENU_CALLBACK
    );

The action parameter value of my form is result_page.
The $_POST array is read in results function.

Any idea?

Thanks,
Sylvain

It was simply a huge error!

Somebody else working on the same project had overrided my 'formbuilder' function.

Really sorry and thank you very much Dipesh for your response.
