Hi,
I am just struggling with my first module,
I created a formulaire for the end user consisting of a dropdown menu and a submit button ...
In the drop-down menu I display a vocabulary, and I used a hierarchical select widget(hierarchical_select module)

But how could I get PHP code(in my module), after the submit, the current term id of the current selection of the hierarchical select?

For a simple textbox for example a code like:

$note = form_state['values']['note'];

would put in $note the user's entry of that textbox ...

I don't know the hierarchical select module, but in general this is what I do:
Install and enable the development module (http://drupal.org/project/devel).

In the submit handler function try
dpm($form_state);
Now when you submit the form, you should see the output of devel, displaying the content of form_state.
If you drill down that array you can find the value you're looking for.

Good luck,
Thijs

PS: Sorry thijsvdanker, but I posted this already some days before and therefore I tried luck (for the first time) at module development.

Double posting just clogs up the database, fragments support, and makes things harder to find... feel free to bump the same post though.
