Drupal Form Theming Quick Tip

Very quickly, here's a useful tip if you're theming any kind of Drupal form. Just put the following in your overriding .tpl.php file

<?php print "<pre>"; print_r(array_values($form));print "</pre>"; ?>

and it'll output a complete list of things you can theme.
Not ground breaking I know, but one of those things I can never seem to find when I want!

with the devel module (http://drupal.org/project/devel) enabled it can be even as easy as "dvm($form)"

Or if you want to take it further and get ALL variables available within any of your .tpl.php file:

<pre><?php print_r(get_defined_vars()); ?></pre>

I use this:

<?php
 drupal_set_message('<pre>'.print_r(array_values($form),true).'</pre>'); 
?>
