I am using hook_civicrm_postProcess to execute code when a user registers for an event (Drupal 6 / CiviCRM 2.2.9)

To determine the contact id of the user I use the API to search on $form->_defaultValues['email-5'] which works well if the user is anonymous (seems that his contact record is made before the hook is executed) or if the user exists with that email. The problem seems to be if an existing contact changes his email on the registration page--then no results are found for his new email.

This is anyhow thus far my empirical observation. Creates a small problem because in such a case, I don't know who the contact is. Perhaps I could just presume that if the user is logged in then his contact is that which is linked to his Drupal record, but anyhow this seems to be a bit of a glitch.

can u check if this works:

Code: [Select]

$contactId = $form->get( 'primaryContactId' );

that should give you the primary contact id involved with the registration and avoid doign a search
