In D7 to make a form and then show only the result data with no styling at all (that is the task), I am using echo $output; die; in my form_submit function. Is that the right way? It works, but I wonder if there's a better way? Thanks, Fred
Well, I'm not sure I understand exactly what you're trying to see. But I never, ever, use "die" in Drupal; and very rarely "echo." Nancy Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere. -- Dr. Martin L. King, Jr.

I'm seeing the right output. The client wants to submit a form, and then see a certain .tpl file, populated with data based on his inputs. It works fine. Just wondering if there's a slicker way.... :) I thought maybe of changing the callback to a regular function and then have that check if it should be a form or regular output. Fred
Whereas what you did does work, I think the "Drupal way" solution would be to use a #theme attribute in the array returned by drupal_get_form prior to calling drupal_render. I've done the print and exit strategy before when generating unthemed output, but it sounds like what you're really doing is generating differently themed output. I'm not sure that using drupal_render is slicker, and for a one-off client solution may not be worth your while, but if you were developing a module that needed to theme stuff differently, I think that it would be the way to go.
