If I run this query via sforce Explorer:

Select Id, AccountID, LastName from Contact where email = 'username@domain.com'

I get data output for all fields, as expected.

However, if I run the same query via the API (see below), I get output for all fields except for the AccountID. The value for this field is blank.

$queryResult = $sfdc->query("select AccountID, id, FirstName, LastName from Contact where email = '$emaillogin'");
$record = $queryResult['records'];

// getting the record pointer
$sfrecordid = $record->id;

// all of these will output except for accountid

$values = $record->values;
$firstname = $values['FirstName'];
$lastname = $values['LastName'];
$accountid = $values['AccountID'];

Thanks for any suggestions!
