Conditionals not Parsed in form

Question

I am creating a form via module, that I wish to use for both insert and update. After the insert user has the option of going back to edit the values previously input. The issue that I encounter is with the update.

This function decides if insert or update

public function form()
{
    session_start();
    $tagdata     = $this->EE->TMPL->tagdata;

    if(isset($_SESSION['id'])){
        $variables   = array();
        $variables[] = $_SESSION['tags'];

        return self::buildForm('updateForm', $tagdata, $variables);

    }

    return self::buildForm('addDonation', $tagdata);
}

While this function handles the actual building of the form

public function buildForm($method, $tagdata, $variables = FALSE)
{
    $hidden_fields = array(
        'ACT' =>  $this->EE->functions->fetch_action_id('Meal', $method)
    );

    if($variables != FALSE){

        $conditionals = $this->EE->TMPL->simple_conditionals($tagdata, $variables);
        $conditionals = $this->EE->TMPL->parse_variables_row($conditionals, $variables);

        print_r($conditionals);

        $content = $this->EE->TMPL->parse_globals($this->EE->TMPL->final_template);

    }

    //Build an array with the form data
    $form_data = array(
        "id"            => $this->EE->TMPL->form_id,
        "class"         => $this->EE->TMPL->form_class,
        'hidden_fields' => $hidden_fields
    );

    $form = $this->EE->functions->form_declaration($form_data) . $content . "</form>";

    return $form;
}

The output is currently {if FirstName != and {FirstName} within the conditional is not being parsed.

Any help greatly appreciated!

I think you're making this more complex than needed. This should suffice:

if($variables != FALSE)
{
    $content = $this->EE->TMPL->parse_globals(
        $this->EE->TMPL->parse_variables($tagdata, $variables)//preps then runs parse_variables_row()    
    );
}
