How can I check if an order with a given increment id already exists in magento?
- by Thomas Vander Stichele
I am new to Magento.
What's the proper way to check if an order with a given increment id already exists ?
The obvious way:
$order = Mage::getModel('sales/order')->loadByIncrementId($reservedOrderId);
if ($order) {
Mage::log('already have order with id ' . $reservedOrderId);
return $order;
}
does not work, because I get a new and empty model instance back.
What's the correct way in magento to see if I have no such model for that id ?
