function drupal_prepare_form in Drupal 6

Same name and namespace in other branches

1. 5 includes/form.inc \drupal_prepare_form()
2. 7 includes/form.inc \drupal_prepare_form()

Prepares a structured form array by adding required elements, executing any hook_form_alter functions, and optionally inserting a validation token to prevent tampering.

Parameters

$form_id: A unique string identifying the form for validation, submission, theming, and hook_form_alter functions.

$form: An associative array containing the structure of the form.

$form_state: A keyed array containing the current state of the form. Passed in here so that hook_form_alter() calls can use it, as well.
