Introduction

Note: Although the material covered here is valid for later versions of drupal, the signature of hook_forms_alter() changed in Drupal 6, so the exact examples will not work correctly. The new signature is hook_form_alter(&$form, $form_state, $form_id)

These are class notes for dmitrig01's mini-lesson on hook_form_alter which I found very effective and useful. The lesson is based on a hands-on approach where you actually write some PHP code and see things happening in your Drupal Test Environment. This lesson concentrates on Form manipulation which can be used by module writers to write interesting modules or administrators to enhance the content of a typical installation according to their needs. Beginners are encouraged to type along with the lesson to understand better.
