function _field_invoke

Invoke a field hook.

Parameters

$op: Possible operations include:

• form
• validate
• presave
• insert
• update
• delete
• delete revision
• view
• prepare translation

$entity_type: The type of $entity; e.g. 'node' or 'user'.

$entity: The fully formed $entity_type entity.

$a:

• The $form in the 'form' operation.
• The value of $view_mode in the 'view' operation.
• Otherwise NULL.

$b:

• The $form_state in the 'submit' operation.
• Otherwise NULL.

$options: An associative array of additional options, with the following keys:

• 'field_name': The name of the field whose operation should be invoked. By default, the operation is invoked on all the fields in the entity's bundle.
• 'default': A boolean value, specifying which implementation of the operation should be invoked.
  • if FALSE (default), the field types implementation of the operation will be invoked (hook_field_[op])
  • If TRUE, the default field implementation of the field operation will be invoked (field_default_[op])

  Internal use only. Do not explicitely set to TRUE, but use _field_invoke_default() instead.

• 'deleted': If TRUE, the function will operate on deleted fields as well as non-deleted fields. If unset or FALSE, only non-deleted fields are operated on.
• 'language': A language code or an array of language codes keyed by field name. It will be used to narrow down to a single value the available languages to act on.
