hi there,

i'm trying to execute some custom php code after a form gets submitted. while trying to find the value of a form field, i used following code:

var_dump($form['acl']['view']['user_list']['#post']);

rules debugging says the code gets executed, but i dont get any output, not even a "null". if i change the code to:

var_dump($form['acl']['view']['user_list']);

i'll get this output (truncated):

array
  '#post' => 
    array
      'acl' => 
        array
          'view' => 
            array
              'user_list' => string 'a:2:{i:1;s:5:"chief";i:3;s:5:"benni";}' (length=38)

i'm trying to get the value of the field "user_list" after the form is submitted, but as soon as i use a fieldname with a hash in it, the code doesn't get executed. if there is another way to get the value or if there is a way to escape the hash, please let me know.

Component: Rules Core » Rules Engine

update: the hash doesnt seem to be the problem, it's something else. maybe the depth of the array. here is another test i've done:

first action with this custom php code:

var_dump($form_state['values']);

output (truncated again):

array
  'view' => 
    array
      1 => int 0
      2 => int 0
      3 => boolean true
      4 => int 0

now, next try with a deeper array level:

var_dump($form_state['values']['view']);

output:
nothing, no var_dump, no "null", just nothing.

i have absolutely no idea what the problem could be, so if anyone has any clue, please help.

and to make it even more confusing, here is another test i just did:

first try, code:

$users = acl_get_uids(acl_get_id_by_name("content_access", "view_23"));
var_dump($users);

output:
again nothing

second try, code:

$users = acl_get_uids(acl_get_id_by_name("content_access", "view_23"));
var_dump($users);
var_dump($form);

output:

array
  1 => string '1' (length=1)
  3 => string '3' (length=1)

array
  'per_role' => 
    array
      '#type' => string 'fieldset' (length=8)
      '#title' => string 'Einstellungen für die Rollenbasierte Zugriffskontrolle' (length=55)
      '#collapsible' => boolean true
      ...

so, in the second example, it outputs both arrays, in the first example it outputs nothing. this is extremely strange.
