Issue of that " Ten Step-by-Step Code Samples of FORM API" tutorial

kelvinc - November 21, 2008 - 00:14

I am new to drupal,
and i want to create some forms..
i am a php developer and i dont want to use modules to create my forms, i am trying to learn forms with the 10 step tutorial of FAPI but in some point it says...
____________________
1. Create a file called my_module.module. Cut and paste the first code sample into the my_module.module file (note that it's preferable to omit the closing ?> tag)
2. Enable the "My module" module on the admin/build/modules page.
3. Point your browser to my_module/form to run the sample code
4. For each code sample in the tutorial, completely replace the code in my_module.module with the new code snippet and point your browser to my_module/form to get the newer code working.
____________________

i did the 1 and the 2 but i need help with the 3!! to point where?? i am running my drupal in my localhost/drupal address...which is the right address?
FAPI is an included function of drupal or do i have to download it?
thanks!!

Just repost it cos I have the same issue and it's not been solved.
thanks again

You would go to wherever Drupal is installed and then the path from there. So if installed at http://localhost/drupal you would go to http://localhost/drupal/my_module/form.

And yes FAPI is part of Drupal core. You do not need to download anything extra.
