i am trying to save form state in database and want to view in a listing page with its error validation.
i.e, i want to validate a previously saved form state from my database.
this is a node type form .
i had already tried node_validate
its not working because i fetch the data before submitting the node . so there is no nid and for that it is not working
and also tried drupal_validate_form
but it is showing
[form_token] => The form has become outdated. Copy any unsaved work in the form below and then reload this page
EDIT
Any one with any help , "How to save a form inputs in data base and retrive it from database with out form submision.
Thank You In advance
Any help is most Appreciable.
If you look in Drupal Core, you see this in includes/form.inc
at the drupal_validate_form
function:
if (isset($form['#token'])) {
if (!drupal_valid_token($form_state['values']['form_token'], $form['#token'])) {
$path = current_path();
$query = drupal_get_query_parameters();
$url = url($path, array('query' => $query));
// Setting this error will cause the form to fail validation.
form_set_error('form_token', t('The form has become outdated. Copy any unsaved work in the form below and then <a href="@link">reload this page</a>.', array('@link' => $url)));
// Stop here and don't run any further validation handlers, because they
// could invoke non-safe operations which opens the door for CSRF
// vulnerabilities.
$validated_forms[$form_id] = TRUE;
return;
}
}`
This shows that the "form has become outdated" message is being set here. So, you can make the isset($form[#token'])
condition false by unsetting #token
to prevent this message from appearing.
All you have to do is load the form state you're going to validate, and call
unset($form[#token']);
before you call drupal_validate_form
.
