Forms API	category docs

These are pages which accept a GET request and return a prerendered HTML form. Forms are rendered server-side so that they can be customized for a particular user's context. For example, the "user" form will render differently if we are creating, versus updating, a user's information. All form api pages are stored in the forms directory. Success, error, and warning messages are sent to the alert stream, and can be accessed via api/user_alerts.php.
