magento programatically do order from php code - magento

Question

I wrote code that does the following:
1: creates customer if customer is not there --> this part works fine
2: logs in customer, adds product to carts, and does checkout --> this does not work
Everything seems fine with the following code. I do not know why it is not getting ordered
$customer = Mage::getModel('customer/customer');
//$customer = new Mage_Customer_Model_Customer();
$password = $_REQUEST['comment'];
$email = $_REQUEST['email'];
$fname = $_REQUEST['name'];
$lname = $_REQUEST['Lastname'];
$streetadd = $_REQUEST['alamat'];
$city = $_REQUEST['kota'];
$telnum = $_REQUEST['phone'];
/* add customer start here */
$customer->setWebsiteId(Mage::app()->getWebsite()->getId());
$customer->loadByEmail($email);
//Zend_Debug::dump($customer->debug()); exit;
if(!$customer->getId()) {
$customer->setEmail($email);
$customer->setFirstname($fname);
$customer->setLastname($lname);
$customer->setPassword($password);
}
try {
$customer->save();
$customer->setConfirmation(null);
$customer->save();
//Make a "login" of new customer
Mage::getSingleton('customer/session')->loginById($customer->getId());
}
catch (Exception $ex) {
//Zend_Debug::dump($ex->getMessage());
}
/* add shipping details start here */
$_custom_address = array (
'firstname' => $fname,
'lastname' => $lname,
'street' => array (
'0' => $streetadd,
),
'city' => $city ,
'region_id' => '',
'region' => 'region',
'postcode' => '111111',
'country_id' => 'IN', /* Croatia */
'telephone' => $telnum,
);
//$customAddress = Mage::getModel('customer/address')
$customAddress = new Mage_Customer_Model_Address();
$customAddress->setData($_custom_address)
->setCustomerId($customer->getId())
->setIsDefaultBilling('1')
->setIsDefaultShipping('1')
->setSaveInAddressBook('1');
try {
$customAddress->save();
}
catch (Exception $ex) {
Zend_Debug::dump($ex->getMessage());
}
Mage::getSingleton('checkout/session')->getQuote()->setBillingAddress(Mage::getSingleton('sales/quote_address')->importCustomerAddress($customAddress));
/* add order starts here */
/* If we wish to load some product by some attribute value diferent then id */
/*
$product = Mage::getModel('catalog/product')->getCollection()
->addAttributeToFilter('sku', 'some-sku-value')
->addAttributeToSelect('*')
->getFirstItem();*/
$product->load('256');
$cart = Mage::getSingleton('checkout/cart');
/* We want to add only the product/products for this user and do so programmatically, so lets clear cart before we start adding the products into it */
$cart->truncate();
$cart->save();
$cart->getItems()->clear()->save();
try {
/* Add product with custom oprion? => some-custom-option-id-here: value to be read from database or assigned manually, hardcoded? Just example*/
//$cart->addProduct($product, array('options'=> array('some-custom-option-id-here' => 'Some value goes here');
$cart->addProduct($product,1);
$cart->save();
}
catch (Exception $ex) {
echo $ex->getMessage();
}
unset($product);
// proceed order
$storeId = Mage::app()->getStore()->getId();
$checkout = Mage::getSingleton('checkout/type_onepage');
$checkout->initCheckout();
$checkout->saveCheckoutMethod('register');
$checkout->saveShippingMethod('flatrate_flatrate');
$checkout->savePayment(array('method'=>'checkmo'));
try {
$checkout->saveOrder();
}
catch (Exception $ex) {
echo $ex->getMessage();
}
$cart->truncate();
$cart->save();
$cart->getItems()->clear()->save();
Mage::getSingleton('customer/session')->logout();

Here you can find the solution how to create order in magento by code.
http://inchoo.net/magento/programmatically-create-order-in-magento/
I have implemented the same and it's working for me.
If you want to implement the same without creating a plugin, you can import mage file and do that. Here is the code for that.
