Magento: Get customer details : customer id, name, email

Magento get the logged in customer details like customer id, name, email, etc. Check if customer is already logged in or not, if they are logged in then get all the data using customer session object and use it as per the requirement.

if (Mage::getSingleton('customer/session')->isLoggedIn()) {
    $customer = Mage::getSingleton('customer/session')->getCustomer();
    $customerData = Mage::getModel('customer/customer')->load($customer->getId())->getData();
    Mage::log($customerData);
}

Output:

Array
(
    [entity_id] => 1
    [entity_type_id] => 1
    [attribute_set_id] => 0
    [website_id] => 1
    [email] => john.doe@example.com
    [group_id] => 1
    [increment_id] => 000000001
    [store_id] => 1
    [created_at] => 2007-08-30 23:23:13
    [updated_at] => 2008-08-08 12:28:24
    [is_active] => 1
    [firstname] => John
    [lastname] => Doe
    [password_hash] => 204948a4020ed1d0e4238db2277d5:eg
    [prefix] => 
    [middlename] => 
    [suffix] => 
    [taxvat] => 
    [default_billing] => 274
    [default_shipping] => 274
)

Getting customer details from the $customerData object:

$customerID = $customerData->getId(); //entity_id can be used as id
$name = $customerData->getFirstname() . ' ' . $customerData->getLastname();
$isActive = $customerData->getIsActive();
$email = $customerData->getEmail();
$incrId = $customerData->getIncrementId();

Similarly, we can get lastname, email, etc. ( [website_id] = getWebsiteId() )

  • mmm, I’m not John Doe..

  • $customer = Mage::getModel(‘customer/customer’)->load(1)->getData();

    this is NOT the logged customer, but the customer with the entity_id=1!!!

  • hi

    how can i get the details about abandon cart details…pls help me

    • LOL these useless, lazy questions ‘I want his…pls help me’. As if anyone will ever answer a question phrased like this. No trying anything beforehand, just a lazy ‘I wanna do this’. In the time taken to spam 40 sites in the hope of getting an answer, anand could have answered it himself.

  • i created module like customer in backend.

    Everything will be perfect but now in front end it displays an error message like this:

    Fatal error: Call to a member function getBackend() on a non-object in D:\wamp\www\mysite\app\code\core\Mage\Eav\Model\Entity\Abstract.php on line 816

    How can i solve this?

    Give me a solution.

    • Re-index and clear cache and try. If it still don’t solve then Mage::log attribute name on line 816 of the said file as a first step.

  • Had to write it like this on a Magento 1.7.2:

    if (Mage::getSingleton(‘customer/session’)->isLoggedIn()) {
    $customer = Mage::getSingleton(‘customer/session’)->getCustomer();
    $customerData = Mage::getModel(‘customer/customer’)->load($customer->getId())->getData();
    print_r($customerData);
    }

  • hi Kalpesh Mehta,

    Here you are getting Customer details this is working for me…. and we are waiting for more posts about magento.

    One more thing is
    If I want to create my own function(this function will insert my own database)? Where I Create?
    this function where I can call in register.phtml?
    Could you tell me the where insert,update,delete and read functions(built in functions) is there in magento?

    thanks in advance……….

  • “i´m a newbie but i´m trying something complicated (and completely unrelated to your blogpost) or do explain basic basics, i´m too stupid to google for a tutorial ! please hellllp me ! ”

    my sweet lord. how do you put up with these suckers ?

    • @garak: India has created 1 billion of them! No wonder the place is stuck permanently in the 3rd world.

  • Hey,

    Have you tried your code ? Because it will NEVER work. “isLoggedIn” will always return a boolean (so true and false) and never going to return the “customer” entity.

    Michael gave the right way.

    • Agreed! I think I updated this post before a year or so and it seems I had not tested the code that time. I will change it to correct one, thanks!

  • Hi,

    I have upgrade an magento site all things are working fine, but coupon code is not working for the previous customers. If we apply coupon through the customer accounts those were created after upgradation, its working fine.

    While I trying to find the bug, cause the issue in app/code/core/Mage/Checkout/controllers/CartController.php >> couponPostAction()


    $this->_getQuote()->setCouponCode($isCodeLengthValid ? $couponCode : ”)
    ->collectTotals()
    ->save();

    not saving the coupon code for the old customers .

    Please reply asap . I am stucking in this from last 3 days.

    Thanks

    Is it possible to get Guest user’s information via Cookie in Magento?

    • What info you want to get from Cookie? You should only get info from session wherever possible as Cookies are stored in user’s browser and can be easily manipulated.
