I just enabled the devel module on Drupal 6 and using dpm($form) was showing values for me but it does not show values any more. What would mostly the issue here? Is there a way to see those values?
Thanks

1This is difficult issue to help you with if you're not providing any code or a specific context.– chrisjleeCommented Aug 19, 2011 at 17:32

Typical cases for why a dpm(...) doesn't show up:
- Cache: The
dpm()is in some cached code and is not actually being executed. - Access: You are viewing the page with a user that doesn't have access to see the debug messages.
- Ajax/etc: Some code clears the messages before they are rendered, in this case you can use
dd()to print to a log file instead.

Also sometimes while putting dpm() in theme part, it may not be executed while kpr() will.– tostinniCommented Aug 21, 2011 at 16:06
In say a validation function, to see both the $form structure and what the user has entered, use a devel debug statement like:
dpm(array('$form' => $form, '$form_state' => $form_state), "Validation debug");
The $form_state['values'] array will contain the raw user entries you can then access and validate.
