Magento - get Customer Address id of order shipping address

addressbook, billing, checkout, magento

Solution

you can get customer address by `customer_address_id` field in `sales_flat_order_address` table

here the code:

$order = Mage::getModel('sales/order');
$order->loadByIncrementId($ext_order_id);
$address = $order->getShippingAddress();
$address->getData('customer_address_id');

Problem

I got the shipping address of an order by $order->getShippingAddress() ``` $order = Mage::getModel('Mage_Sales_Model_Order'); $order->loadByIncrementId($ext_order_id); $address = $order->getShippingAddress(); ``` and i load the DefaultBillingAddress by ``` $address_default_billing = Mage::getSingleton('customer/session')->getCustomer() ->getDefaultBillingAddress(); ``` Now i want to compare them, but there's the problem. If i do a `getId()` on both of them, they have different id's even though i chose the billing address for shipping in checkout, so they have to be the same but the id is different.. how can that appear ? Is there a way to get the customer-address-id of the current shippingaddress in checkout ? by example: `$address->getId()` returns 44 and `$address_default_billing->getId()` return 6 the 6 is the right id for the customer address in the model, but the order-shipping-id is wrong.
