How do I stop Drupal from running my callback twice? | drupal.org
I posted this on the module developers forum but no one had an answer so I'm trying again here: Here's my problem. Basically, I have form, on submission the form calls it's _submit function (mytest_form_submit), basic Forms API stuff. The _submit function returns a contructed URL to another callback in the system. I'm using a block with a form on it, and just putting the block in one of the columns. Now, Using the form from any page except the forms' results page works fine. After submission you are redirected with the return value from mytest_form_submit, to a results page. You can view the original post here, http://drupal.org/node/162054, it has my sample code which makes the issue easier to understand (i hope anyway :) Eric.

Would using a static flag variable provide an ugly hack to count the number of times the _submit() function runs? Not the best solution probably: function submit() { static $flag=0; if ($flag==0) { $flag++; //execute your function's code } return; } HTH

Actually, I think I'm just going to use an input button submitted with javascript instead of the forms api submit button. That way I can take control of that particular form away from drupal. Not sure how else to do it.
