Hi all,
I'm new in Drupal :D but learning day to day.
I have the following module (it's an example):
/**
* Hook perm
*/
function helloworld_perm()
{
return array('Administer helloworld');
}
/**
* Hook block
*/
function helloworld_block($op = 'list', $delta = 0, $edit = array())
{
switch($op)
{
case 'list':
$blocks[0] = array(
'info' => t('helloworld')
);
return $blocks;
case 'view':
$block['subject'] = "Hello World";
$block['content'] = drupal_get_form('helloworld');
return $block;
}
}
function helloworld($params)
{
$form['#method'] = 'post';
$form['#action'] = url('helloworld');
$form['name'] = array(
'#type' => 'textfield',
'#size' => '20',
'#title' => t('Introduce tu nombre'),
'#default_value' => $params['name'],
);
$form['submit'] = array('#type' => 'submit', '#value' => t('Greet'));
//Devolvemos el formulario.
return $form;
}
Like you can see, it's very simply. I have declared a block with a form content. The action's form goes to "page" node called "holamundo". The code of this node is the following:
if (isset($_POST['name']))
echo "Hello ". $_POST['name']." !!!";
I only want to capture the value of the "nombre" element form. If i use a GET method for the form, it works perfectly, but using POST method $_POST['nombre'] is empty why?, how can I capture the value via POST?
Thanks for all and sorry for my English,
Álvaro

Simple Form
Howdy,
In drupal when you create a form there are 3 functions you need to create in order to handle the form correctly.
1. helloworld_form()
The _form is not a hook, its just good practice to name your form function appropriatly. This stores your form and should return it as an array.
2. helloworld_form_validate($form_id, &$form)
This needs to be named the same as your form function with the _validate hook on the end. This allows you to validate the form for additional requirements, for example if your checking valid email addresses etc.
3. helloworld_form_submit($form_id, $form_values)
Again following the convention and adding the _submit hook. This function will capture your form on submit. Here is where you can action stuff like storing the info in a database, sending an email etc.
This is a basic rundown on what is needed for a simple form.
Enjoy!
