Drupal 7 FAPI type button does not work

Ik am doing a very simple form where I add a button which should do some functionality, but it's not working. Altough the button is visible on the page and when I click it the page is refreshed. Can anyone see what's wrong with this code ?

function donation_form_alter(&$form, &$form_state, $form_id) {
    if ($form_id == 'wedding_article_node_form') {
        $form['add_donation'] = array(
            '#type' => 'button',
            '#submit' => array('donation_add_donation'),
            '#value' => t('Add donation'),
        );
    }
}

function donation_add_donation(&$form, &$form_state) {
    dpm('test');
    dpm($form);
}
Solution

  • You need a submit type element if you want to run a submit handler. From the documentation:

    When the button is pressed, the form will be submitted to Drupal, where it is validated and rebuilt. The submit handler is not invoked.
