Sets up a form to save information automatically.

This function adds a submit handler and a submit button to a form array. The submit function saves all the data in the form, using variable_set(), to variables named the same as the keys in the form array. Note that this means you should normally prefix your form array keys with your module name, so that they are unique when passed into variable_set().

If you need to manipulate the data in a custom manner, you can either put your own submission handler in the form array before calling this function, or just use your own submission handler instead of calling this function.

Parameters

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

Return value

The form structure.
