Magento: Get User Details

In this quick tip we will see how we can get details of logged in customer in Magento.

You can use below code snippet in any model, controller or phtml file.

[cc lang=”php”]
// Retrieve Session Object
$session = Mage::getSingleton(‘customer/session’);

// Check if user is logged in or not.
if($session->isLoggedIn())
{
$customer = $session->getCustomer();

// Get Customer ID
echo $customer->getID();

// Get Customer Name
echo $customer->getName();

}
[/cc]

Let me know if there is any room for improvement in above code snippet.
