Question

I have a bit of code that sits in a folder next to Magento. I’m pulling in Mage.php to do some stuff. I want to be able to grab some kind of shipping quote into my code. I have been looking around the web and I’m struggling to get anywhere sensible with it.

Please can someone show me the most efficient way to achieve this?

I only have this info available to pass in to get the rates:

Product ID eg, 123
Quantity eg, 1020
Country Code eg, GB
Zip code if needed eg, SY12 6AX

And I want to get out the following info:

Rate eg, £2.50
Title eg, Royal Mail Special Delivery
ID eg, 6

I want then to populate a radio list with the options on my code so that they can be selected.

Many thanks

OK, I got it working. This is the final code to programmatically get a shipping quote from magento.

The function will return all available shipping rates for a particular product, quantity, country, postcode. The code excludes free shipping, this can be undone by removing if($_rate->getPrice() > 0) { ...

<?php
require_once("Mage.php");
umask(0);
ini_set('display_errors',true); Mage::setIsDeveloperMode(true);
Mage::app();


function getShippingEstimate($productId,$productQty,$countryId,$postcode ) {

    $quote = Mage::getModel('sales/quote')->setStoreId(Mage::app()->getStore('default')->getId());
    $_product = Mage::getModel('catalog/product')->load($productId);

    $_product->getStockItem()->setUseConfigManageStock(false);
    $_product->getStockItem()->setManageStock(false);

    $quote->addProduct($_product, $productQty);
    $quote->getShippingAddress()->setCountryId($countryId)->setPostcode($postcode); 
    $quote->getShippingAddress()->collectTotals();
    $quote->getShippingAddress()->setCollectShippingRates(true);
    $quote->getShippingAddress()->collectShippingRates();

    $_rates = $quote->getShippingAddress()->getShippingRatesCollection();

    $shippingRates = array();
    foreach ($_rates as $_rate):
            if($_rate->getPrice() > 0) {
                $shippingRates[] =  array("Title" => $_rate->getMethodTitle(), "Price" => $_rate->getPrice());
            }
    endforeach;

    return $shippingRates;

}
echo "<pre>";
// product id, quantity, country, postcode
print_r(getShippingEstimate(1098,100,"GB","SY21 7NQ"));
echo "</pre>";

This could be put into a dropdown list like this:

$results = getShippingEstimate(1098,100000,"GB","SY21 7NQ");
$count = -1;
echo "<select>";
foreach ($results as $result):
$count++;
?>
<option value="<?=$count?>"><?=$result["Title"]." - £".$result["Price"]?></option>
<?php
endforeach;
echo "</select>"
