print all my form variables in drupal 6?
attentat - January 2, 2009 - 17:46
I'm trying to customize some forms, but first I need to see what all the variables are. But I can't figure out how to print them. For some reason that I don't understand, the $form array just doesn't exist on my page, despite there being a node form on my page. I've tried a variety of things, but they all revolve around printing it in page.tpl.php (for the moment). I saw something in the themeing section about overriding $form values and such but it's for 5.x and doesn't seem to be what I'm looking for. Am I missing something here?
Have you seen Fine-tuning
Have you seen Fine-tuning the UI by Theming Forms In Drupal 6.0?

Look for the Devel module
The Devel or Developer module should be what you are looking for.

Still need help
I can never get the first link to work (I've tried on three occasions) and devel works great... except on the node add/edit pages.
Any other thoughts?
I'm a little lost after using 5.x for a while where my template.php had access to $form. With 6.x, I can't even figure out what has access to $form.
I can never get the first
Try accessing it via http://drupal.org/node/290431 instead. It really does contain what you need to know, and rewriting in a post would not only be a waste of time, but far less useful then the screencast demo.
