User field

Shows a dropdown that let you select on of the users of the system.

Return value

Returns the id of the selected user.

If no user is selected an empty string is returned.

Extended Return Values

Note that the value of key user is a WP_User Object which has some magic getter methods, so not all properties are visible when doing a print_r, like below.

Array ( [id] => 1 [first_name] => phil [last_name] => roberts [user_login] => phil [user_email] => user@example.com [user_nicename] => philly [display_name] => philly [user] => WP_User Object ( [data] => stdClass Object ( [ID] => 1 [user_login] => admin [user_pass] => nbl48g8hlndmjp489gjl [user_nicename] => philly [user_email] => user@example.com [user_url] => [user_registered] => 2012-10-09 11:12:30 [user_activation_key] => [user_status] => 0 [display_name] => admin ) [ID] => 1 [caps] => Array ( [administrator] => 1 ) [cap_key] => wp_capabilities [roles] => Array ( [0] => administrator ) [allcaps] => Array ( [switch_themes] => 1 [edit_themes] => 1 [activate_plugins] => 1 [edit_plugins] => 1 [edit_users] => 1 [edit_files] => 1 [manage_options] => 1 [moderate_comments] => 1 [manage_categories] => 1 [manage_links] => 1 [upload_files] => 1 [import] => 1 [unfiltered_html] => 1 [edit_posts] => 1 [edit_others_posts] => 1 [edit_published_posts] => 1 [publish_posts] => 1 [edit_pages] => 1 [read] => 1 [level_10] => 1 [level_9] => 1 [level_8] => 1 [level_7] => 1 [level_6] => 1 [level_5] => 1 [level_4] => 1 [level_3] => 1 [level_2] => 1 [level_1] => 1 [level_0] => 1 [edit_others_pages] => 1 [edit_published_pages] => 1 [publish_pages] => 1 [delete_pages] => 1 [delete_others_pages] => 1 [delete_published_pages] => 1 [delete_posts] => 1 [delete_others_posts] => 1 [delete_published_posts] => 1 [delete_private_posts] => 1 [edit_private_posts] => 1 [read_private_posts] => 1 [delete_private_pages] => 1 [edit_private_pages] => 1 [read_private_pages] => 1 [delete_users] => 1 [create_users] => 1 [unfiltered_upload] => 1 [edit_dashboard] => 1 [update_plugins] => 1 [delete_plugins] => 1 [install_plugins] => 1 [update_themes] => 1 [install_themes] => 1 [update_core] => 1 [list_users] => 1 [remove_users] => 1 [add_users] => 1 [promote_users] => 1 [edit_theme_options] => 1 [delete_themes] => 1 [export] => 1 [administrator] => 1 ) [filter] => ) )
