Having problem with order.php and checkout_process.php with OLD Zen Cart v1.2.3

[wolfbane01]

Hi,

I'm working on an install of 1.2.3 (don't have the option to update it sadly) and I'm implementing a 'guest checkout'. The logic behind the below approach was to keep the user from checking in until they had provided all of their shipping/billing information at which time an account would be created and their order inserted into the database.

I have been outputting the $order object in PHP and can see the different arrays (billing, delivery and product) all being filled out as I go, however, when I submit the order while I see a successful entry in the customer table, AND I can see the payment information in the orders table, I am not seeing the customer, shipping or billing information.

Steps taken so far:
1. Commented out the check for the customer_ids in the headers of my checkout funnel pages.
2. Copied the code from create_account responsible for creating the customer account into the checkout process:

if (!$_SESSION['customer_id']) {
        $firstname = zen_db_prepare_input($_SESSION['request']['firstname']);
        $lastname = zen_db_prepare_input($_SESSION['request']['lastname']);
        $email_address = zen_db_prepare_input($_SESSION['request']['email_address']);
        $customers_authorization = CUSTOMERS_APPROVAL_AUTHORIZATION;

        $password = 'guest123-' . $email_address;
        $password = zen_db_prepare_input($password);
        $sql_data_array = array('customers_firstname' => $firstname,
                                  'customers_lastname' => $lastname,
                                  'customers_email_address' => $email_address,
                                  'customers_nick' => '',
                                  'customers_telephone' => '',
                                  'customers_fax' => '',
                                  'customers_newsletter' => '',
                                  'customers_email_format' => 'HTML',
                                  'customers_default_address_id' => '0',
                                  'customers_password' => zen_encrypt_password($password),
                                  'customers_authorization' => CUSTOMERS_APPROVAL_AUTHORIZATION
                                  );

    zen_db_perform(TABLE_CUSTOMERS, $sql_data_array);
    $_SESSION['customer_id'] = $db->Insert_ID();

    $sql = "insert into " . TABLE_CUSTOMERS_INFO . "
                       (customers_info_id, customers_info_number_of_logons,
                        customers_info_date_account_created)
           values ('" . (int)$_SESSION['customer_id'] . "', '0', now())";

    $db->Execute($sql);
    } 

From what I can tell, and this is where it may I would love some confirmation, that in the checkout_process file when the

 $order = new order; 

is called, why are some of my arrays coming in blank?
