[development] a tip for module developers writing forms

19 Dec 2005

      Hi!

If you want to make your life easier, while debugging you change:

   // Recurse through all child elements.
   $count  = 0;
   foreach (element_children($form) as $key) {

to

   // Recurse through all child elements.
   $count  = 0;
   foreach (element_children($form) as $key) {
     if (!is_array($form[$key])) die "the form has a wrong key $key";

this way, if you miss a # from a property name, you will get some  
immediate feedback. As it harms performance a bit and is not something  
that can happen with a 'ready' site, I see no point in adding this in any  
way to form.inc.

If someone has an idea on where to add this to some docs, do so.

Regards

NK
