unable to get order status in sales_order_place_after event in magento 1.9

Question

Hello I am unable to get the order status in the observer sales_order_place_after I also tried other events like checkout_onepage_controller_success_action, checkout_type_onepage_save_order_after. Here is my code

<global>
<models>
  <xyz_customorderstatusmodel>
    <class>Endive_CustomOrderStatus_Model</class>
  </xyz_customorderstatusmodel>
</models>
<events>

  <checkout_submit_all_after>
    <observers>
      <xyz_CustomOrderStatus_Model_Observer>
        <type>singleton</type>
        <class>xyz_customorderstatusmodel/observer</class>
        <method>implementOrderStatus</method>
      </xyz_CustomOrderStatus_Model_Observer>
    </observers>
  </checkout_submit_all_after>
</events>

public function implementOrderStatus(Varien_Event_Observer $observer){
    $mytime = "time - " . date('d-m-Y H:i:s');
    Mage::log('in me');
    $status = $observer->getEvent()->getOrder()->getStates();
    Mage::log('My variable : '.$mytime .' -- ' .$status);
    die;

 }

Answer 1

You need to replace your code like this.

public function implementOrderStatus(Varien_Event_Observer $observer)
{
    $status = $observer->getEvent()->getOrder()->getStatus();
}

Answer 2

Try the below code instead of yours:

public function implementOrderStatus(Varien_Event_Observer $observer){
    $status = $observer->getEvent()->getOrder()->getStatusLabel();
}

$observer->getEvent()->getOrder()->getStatusLabel(); This will return Status label like (Pending, Processing etc)

$observer->getEvent()->getOrder()->getStatus(); This will return Status Code(field values as in database) only like (pending, processing etc.)
