Hey guys, I've lurked the forums in search of an answer but haven't found anything that could help me, and my problem seems so stupid I just can't figure it out.

I'm working with the PHP toolkit. Works like a charm except I'm querying for my Case sObject records. I created a custom field named Customer_Portal_User__c, that is a lookup relationship type field to a User__c object.

One would figure this code would be enough...

Query and result validation function:

public function getCasesByAccount($logged_acct, $connection) {
			$query = "SELECT AccountId,  Id, Customer_Portal_User__c,
				CaseNumber, Origin, Reason, Type, Category_Identifier__c,
				Client_Reference__c, Description, Subject, Priority, Status, OwnerId 
				FROM Case WHERE Status IN ('New', 'Updated by Customer') AND AccountId = '".$logged_acct."'";
			
			
			try { $response = $connection->query($query); } catch (Exception $e) {}
			if (count($response->records) >= 1) { return $response; }
			else { return "No cases under this account."; }
		}

And this is how I call my function and go through the records.

$acctCases = $salesforceDML->getCasesByAccount($logged_acct, $connection);
foreach ($acctCases->records as $record) {
echo "<div class='row'>";
echo "<div class='span-3'><a href='view_case.php?id=".$record->Id."'>View</a></div>";
echo "<div class='span-9'>".'Lalala'.$record->Customer_Portal_User__c."</div> ";
echo "<div class='span-6'>".$record->Subject."</div> ";
echo "<div class='span-9'>".$record->Type."</div> ";
echo "</div>";
}

Which outputs All of the fields, EXCEPT Customer_Portal_User__c:

if I var_dump the $record variable from the foreach, I get the following...

object(stdClass)#16 (10) { ["Id"]=> string(18) "500e0000000UZmkAAG" ["AccountId"]=> string(18) "001e0000003FQsSAAW" ["CaseNumber"]=> string(8) "00026957" ["Description"]=> string(5) "fghgh" ["Origin"]=> string(5) "Phone" ["OwnerId"]=> string(18) "005a0000008678DAAQ" ["Priority"]=> string(23) "4 - Feature Enhancement" ["Status"]=> string(3) "New" ["Subject"]=> string(5) "hgfhg" ["Type"]=> string(10) "Activation" }

THE FIELD ISN'T EVEN THERE!!! ALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL the fields are returned except THAT one. CHRISTTT. This is RIDICULOUS.

I've even tried swapping the $query from my function for this, but the same results.

$query = "SELECT FirstName__c, LastName__c, Account__c, 
				(SELECT Id, Subject, Customer_Portal_User__c from Cases__r)
				FROM User__c";

I just don't know anymore. Any suggestions?
