hook_menu() re-written for 6.x

function quotes_menu()
{
$items[]=array();
$items['admin/settings/favorite/quotes']=array(
'title' =>t("Manage favorite quotes"),
'description' => t("Add more favorite quotes"),
'page callback' => 'drupal_get_form',
'page arguments' => 'quotes_settings',
'access callback' => user_access('access administration pages')
);

return $items;
}

Nop, hook is a general term
for this matter it will be quotes_menu(), but you have to define the menus in Drupal 6.x way.

Check the very first reply. Also, look at http://api.drupal.org and type in 'hook_menu'

It basically specified the location of the title of your module in the admin menu. In your case, your menu title will appear under admin->settings->favourite->quotes->"Manage favorite quotes"

In the updated api,

$items[]=array();
$items['admin/settings/favorite/quotes'] //This is used instead of "path"

This is incorrect.

It should be...

function quotes_menu() {
  $items = array();
  $items['admin/settings/quotes'] = array( // favorite/quotes probably won't be accessible from site configuration menu if favorite doesn't exist
    'title' => 'Manage favorite quotes',
    'description' => 'Add more favorite quotes',
    'page callback' => 'drupal_get_form',
    'page arguments' => array('quotes_settings'), // notice the array() here
    'access callback' => 'user_access', // not a function call
    'access arguments' => array('administer site configuration'), // these are your access arguments for user_access
    'type' => MENU_NORMAL_ITEM
  );
  return $items;
}

but when i click the"Manage favorite Quotes" link it is supposed to load a page that contains 2 textboxs by calling the function quotes_settings() ,but that is didnot happen??????

function quotes_settings()
{
$form["quotes_manage"]=array(
'$type'=>'fieldset',
'$title'=>t("Add New Quote"),
'$tree'=>TRUE
);

$form["quotes_manage"]["add"][0]=array(
'$type'=>'textfield',
'$title'=>t("Enter a Quote"),
'$description'=>t("Qualified quotes are only those are your favorite")
);

$form["quotes_manage"]["add"][1]=array(
'$type'=>'textfield',
$title'=>t("Auther")
);

$form["$submit"] = array("quotes_get_form"=>array());

return system_settings_form($form);
}

function quotes_get_form($form_id,$form_values)
{
drupal_set_message(t("Submitted OK"));
}

so plzz tell me what is the problem on that...........

thanks in advance

Read the hand book for how to create forms.
The code for the form you've written doesn't seem like a Drupal form
