function fp_get_form

7.x render.inc fp_get_form($form_id, $params = array())
6.x render.inc fp_get_form($form_id, $params = array())
4.x forms.inc fp_get_form($form_id, $params = array())
5.x render.inc fp_get_form($form_id, $params = array())

This function gets the form array, where the callback is the same as form_id. It will also look for modules which may want to alter the form, using hook_form_alter, and go ahead and apply that.

It will also reorder the elements by weight.

2 calls to fp_get_form()
fp_render_form in includes/render.inc
Render the form array from the callback to the screen, and set the form to save itself in our default submit handler. Valid form_types are: "system_settings" => values automatically saved to variables table. "normal" or BLANK…

function fp_get_form($form_id, $params = array()) {

  $form = call_user_func_array($form_id, $params);

  // Add in the default submit_handlers and validate_handlers, if not all ready set.
  if (!isset($form ["#submit_handlers"])) {

  }

  // Okay, now the fun part.  Re-order the elements by weight.  Lighter weights
  // should float to the top.  Elements w/o a weight listed are assumed to have a weight of 0.
  // Unfortunately we cannot use uasort, as it re-orders our indexes when weights are identical.

  // The first the I want to do is find out, what are the defined weights in this form, if any.
  $defined_weights = array();
  foreach ($form as $element) {
    if (!isset($element ["weight"])) {
      $element ["weight"] = 0;
    }
    $weight = (int) $element ["weight"];
    if (!in_array($weight, $defined_weights)) {
      $defined_weights [] = $weight;
    }
  }

  // Okay, now sort our weights.
  sort($defined_weights);


  // Before we get to assigning weights, we need to make sure
  // that none of our form elements have a name which might cause us trouble.
  // Namely, no element can be named "submit" (like a button) because it will
  // interfere with our javascript functions.
  $form2 = array();
  foreach ($form as $key => $element) {
    $name = $key;
    if ($name == "submit") {
      $name = "btn_submit";

    $form2 [$name] = $element;
  }

  $form = $form2;


  // Okay, now go through the weights and create a new form in THAT order.
  $new_form = array();
  foreach ($defined_weights as $dw) {
    foreach ($form as $key => $element) {
      if (!isset($element ["weight"])) {
        $element ["weight"] = 0;
      }
      $weight = (int) $element ["weight"];
      if ($weight == $dw) {
        $new_form [$key] = $element;

  // Okay, we should now be good to go!
