This is my form builder func

function mymodule_search($form_values = null)

Yes, I use that return ($form_values) into my query:

    $result = db_query('select name from {reports} where rid=%d',
        $form_values['saved']);
    $report = db_fetch_array($result);

the $report always return my designed value from reports.name, but that shows only in #description or #value, never #default_value.
Even if I insert something in $report array, as mentioned before.  Only the inserted apear on #value, my table content shows only in #description.

big mistery!

Does your form builder function get any parameter? Do you use any of them in your query? Are you sure that they have the same values on every build?

Yes, I'm using #multistep

I thought about that, $form been built more than one time.  My test seens to point somewhere else.


look at this:


// my previous array $report, returned by db_fetch_array
$report['name'] .= ' something'; // I insert 'something' into it

        $form['saveit']['name'] = array(
            '#type' => 'textfield',
            '#title' => t('Name'),
            '#default_value' => $report['name'],
            '#description' => $report['name'],


what should be the result from default_value and description? The same?  No, look:

Array ( [name] => test something )

'something' shows on both outputs, but 'test' only in #descrtption.  If is the SAME source ($report['name']), where is 'test' ??? I'm geting crazy with that   :P

I can provide a demo site if its a good idea.

Probably means your #value is getting set through some other mechanism.  FormAPI can be pretty subtle at times.  I seem to remember having a similar problem when I was playing around with #multistep, but I don't remember how I fixed it.

good luck,
