In the following code custom call back function is being printed twice. How to prevent submit call back function being called twice.

function my_module_form_alter(&$form, &$form_state, $form_id){ if ($form['#id'] == "views-exposed-form-test-page"){ $form['#submit'][] = 'custom_callback'; } } function custom_callback($form,&$form_state){ $form_state['redirect'] = false; dpm("insert record"); }

  • is hook_form_alter() firing twice resulting in the custom callback firing twice? Or is the hook_form_alter() being fired once, and the custom function is firing twice? Commented Nov 7, 2016 at 17:42

hook_form_alter() will fire once for every time there is a form on the current page.

You can try the hook hook_form_FORM_ID_alter(). This will only run once when the form with the specific ID pops up.

Unfortunately I had this issue happen before, the hook_form_alter() ran multiple times. I stopped the code from running multiple times by encapsulating the code inside an IF statement inside the hook_form_alter() example: if($form_id == my_id). So the hook ran multiple times but the code only ran once.
