Description
Got an error message "An illegal choice has been detected. Please contact the site administrator." when submitting a form.
The actual error encountered was from the book Pro Drupal Development page 46 - if you have the book. The example defines a new Action called Beep Multiple times. When you go to configure the action, thats when you get the error. The error stops happening if I disable the module.
An explanation of this error appears at http://proofgroup.com/blog/2008/jul/debugging_mysterious_illegal_choice_...

The actual code from the example is:
<?php
// $Id$
/**
* @file
* Provide a simulated beep.
*/
function beep_beep() {
watchdog('beep','Beep!');
}
/**
* Implementation of hook_action_info().
*/
function beep_action_info() {
$info['beep_beep_action'] = array(
'type' => 'system',
'description' => t('Beep Annoyingly'),
'configurable' => FALSE,
'hooks' => array(
'any' => TRUE,
'nodeapi' => array('view', 'insert', 'update', 'delete'),
'comment' => array('view','insert', 'update', 'delete'),
'user' => array('view', 'insert', 'update', 'delete', 'login'),
'taxonomy' => array('insert', 'update', 'delete'),
),
);
$info['beep_nultiple_beep_action'] = array(
'type' => 'system',
'description' => t('Beep multiple times'),
'configurable' => TRUE,
'hooks' => array(
'any' => TRUE,
),
);
return $info;
}
/**
* Simulate a beep. A drupal action
*/
function beep_beep_action() {
beep_beep();
}
/**
* Form for configurable Drupal action to beep multiple times/
*/
function beep_multiple_beep_action_form($context) {
$form['beeps'] = array(
'#type' => 'textfield',
'#title' => t('Number of beeps'),
'#description' => t('Enter the number of times to beep when this action executes'),
'#default_value' => isset($context['beeps']) ? $context['beeps'] : '1',
'#required' => TRUE,
);
return $form;
}
function beep_multiple_beep_action_validate($form,$form_state) {
$beeps = $form_state['values']['beeps'];
if (!is_numeric($beeps)) {
form_set_error('beeps', t('Please enter a numeric value.'));
}
else if ((int) $beeps > 10) {
form_set_error('beeps', t('That would be annoying. Please choose fewer than 10 beeps.'));
}
}
function beep_multiple_beep_action_submit($form, $form_state) {
return array(
'beeps' => (int) $form_state['values']['beeps']
);
}
/**
* Configurable action. Beeps a specified number of times.
*/
function beep_multipl_beep_action($object, $context){
for ($i=1; $i <$context['beeps']; $i++) {
beep_beep();
}
}

Well, first of all. The code you posted has an error:
Fatal error: Call to undefined function beep_nultiple_beep_action_form()I changed that to beep_multiple_beep_action_form, then I saw your last function is misspelled.
I was able to run the configure form without problems on my setup. So, can you write a step-by-step guide to recreating the problem.

No longer supporting AJAX Validation (use AJAX Forms).
