I did the customer update section outside the Magento directory like this,
<?php
require_once ("../../app/Mage.php");
umask(0);
Mage::app();
Mage::app()->loadArea('frontend');
Mage::getSingleton('core/session', array('name' => 'frontend'));
$layout = Mage::getSingleton('core/layout');
$_SESSION[msg] = "";
if (isset($_POST['updateCustomer'])) {
$customerId = $_POST['customerId'];
$customer_email = $_POST['customerEmail'];
$customer_fname = $_POST['customerFirstname'];
$customer_lname = $_POST['customerLastname'];
$customer_password = $_POST['customerPassword'];
$shipping_id = $_POST['shippingId'];
$shippingParent = $_POST['shippingParent'];
$street = $_POST['shippingStreet'];
$city = $_POST['shippingCity'];
$postal = $_POST['shippingPostcode'];
$telephone = $_POST['shippingTelephone'];
$region = $_POST['shippingRegion'];
$country = 'IN';
$customer = Mage::getModel('customer/customer')->load($customerId);
$customer->setWebsiteId(Mage::app()->getWebsite()->getId());
if ($customer->getId()) {
$customer->setEmail($customer_email);
$customer->setFirstname($customer_fname);
$customer->setLastname($customer_lname);
if ($customer_password != '') {
$customer->setPassword($customer_password);
}
try {
$customer->save();
$customer->setConfirmation(null);
$customer->save();
$_SESSION['username'] = $customer_email;
$_SESSION['firstname'] = $customer_fname;
$_SESSION['first_order'] = "Y";
$_SESSION['user_id'] = $customer->getId();
$customer->sendNewAccountEmail();
} catch (Exception $ex) {
}
$address = Mage::getModel("customer/address")->load($shipping_id);
$address->setCustomerId($shippingParent)
->setShippingId($shipping_id)
->setFirstname($customer->getFirstname())
->setMiddleName($customer->getMiddlename())
->setLastname($customer->getLastname())
->setCountryId($country)
->setRegionId($region)
->setPostcode($postal)
->setCity($city)
->setTelephone($telephone)
->setStreet($street)
->setIsDefaultBilling('1')
->setIsDefaultShipping('1')
->setSaveInAddressBook('1');
try {
$address->save();
$address->setConfirmation(null);
$address->save();
} catch (Exception $e) {
}
} else {
echo "User does not exist";
}
}
Form:
if (Mage::getSingleton('customer/session')->isLoggedIn()) {
$customer = Mage::getModel('customer/customer')->load(Mage::getSingleton('customer/session')->getId())->getData();
$address = Mage::getModel("customer/address");
$shipping = $address->load($customer['default_shipping'])->getData();
}
