Hi,

I have a the standard form setup :

function module_search_simple_form()
{
	$form = array();
	
	$form['search'] = array(
		'#type' => 'fieldset',
		'#title' => t('Simple Search'),
		'#collapsible' => FALSE,
		'#collapsed' => FALSE,
		'#tree' => TRUE,
	);
	
	$form['search']['simple'] = array(
		'#type' => 'textfield',
		'#size' => 25,
		'#maxlength' => 150,
	);
	
	$form['search']['submit'] = array(
		'#type' => 'submit',
		'#value' => t('Search'),
	);
	
	return $form;
}

function module_search_simple_form_submit($form, &$form_state)
{
	drupal_set_message('VALUE : ' . $form_state['values']['search']['simple']);
        
        echo "<table><tr><td>Hello World</td></tr></table><br>";
}

function module_search_simple_page() {
	return drupal_get_form('module_search_simple_form');
}

function module_search_block($op = 'list', $delta = 0, $edit = array()) 
{
	switch ($op) 
	{
		case 'list':
			$blocks[0]['info'] = t('Module Search Block');
			return $blocks;
		case 'view': default:.
			$block['subject'] = t('Search for Establishments');
			$block['content'] = drupal_get_form('module_search_simple_form') . "<p align='center'><a href='advancedsearch'>Advanced Search<a></p>";
			return $block;
	}
}

I am trying to take it to a page with just a standard output from a database but I am unable to display html text in the _submit section. I can get the results and I can post it to a database, that works great. But I cannot get it to display the html as seen above where the "Hello World" is.

The next problem is I am posting this from a block and it doesn't post it to a new page? Any ideas as to how I can action that.

My third question is, how do I get a form to instead of sending the results through as a POST, send it through as a GET. I am wanting to page the results and if I use a POST it's going to ask me to post the search query each time I press back or forward.

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Kind Regards,
Davin

Hi,

I have the same problem. But now, after many hours of headscratching I may have found a solution, as it seems to work:

1. Add a new item in hook_menu:

$items['my_result'] = array('title'                         => 'My Result',
   	                                      'page callback'         => 'now_my_result',
    	                                      'access arguments' => array('my_res'),
                                              'type'                       => MENU_CALLBACK,
	                                    );

2. Add a new function to your module:

function now_my_result()
{
        return '<p>'. t('The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog.') .'</p>';
}

3. Call it from your hook_submit:

function sample_submit($form, &$form_state)
{
	$form_state['redirect'] = 'my_result';
}

Hope it helps
