Magento/PHP - Get Phones, Emails, Names for all customers in a selected customer group

Question

I am working on a custom Magento(1.9.0.1) extension.

Let me show you what i have done already.

Here is the code for this Adminhtml form:

<?php

class VivasIndustries_SmsNotification_Block_Adminhtml_Sms_Sendmass_Edit_Form extends Mage_Adminhtml_Block_Widget_Form
    {

        public function _prepareLayout() 
           {
              $ExtensionPath = Mage::getModuleDir('js', 'VivasIndustries_SmsNotification'); 
              $head = $this->getLayout()->getBlock('head');
              $head->addJs('jquery.js');
              $head->addJs('vivas.js');

              return parent::_prepareLayout();
           }

        protected function _prepareForm()
            {
            $form = new Varien_Data_Form(array(
                                    'id' => 'edit_form',
                                    'action' => $this->getUrl('*/*/save', array('id' => $this->getRequest()->getParam('id'))),
                                    'method' => 'post',
                                 ));

                $fieldset = $form->addFieldset('edit_form', array('legend'=>Mage::helper('smsnotification')->__('SMS Information')));

                $CustomerGroups = Mage::getResourceModel('customer/group_collection')->toOptionArray();

                $smsprice_value = Mage::getStoreConfig('vivas/smsprice/smsprice_value');
                $smsprice_tag = Mage::getStoreConfig('vivas/smsprice/smsprice_tag');

                $customerArray=array();
                foreach($CustomerGroups as $each){

                     $count=Mage::getResourceModel('customer/customer_collection')
                                ->addAttributeToFilter('group_id',$each['value'])->getSize();
                $SMSPrice = $count * $smsprice_value;               
                     $customerArray[]=array('value'=> $each['value'],'label'=> $each['label'].' - ('.$count.' Members) - ('.$SMSPrice.' '.$smsprice_tag.')');

                }

                $CustomerGroups = array_merge(array('' => ''), $customerArray);

                $fieldset->addField('customergroups', 'select',
                        array(
                            'name'      => 'customergroups',
                            'label'     => Mage::helper('smsnotification')->__('Customer Group'),
                            'class'     => 'required-entry',
                            'after_element_html' => '<br><small>If customer group is not selected the SMS will be sended<br> to all store members!</small>',
                            'values'    => $CustomerGroups
                        )
                    );


                $fieldset->addField('smstext', 'textarea', array(
                          'label'     => Mage::helper('smsnotification')->__('SMS Text'),
                          'class'     => 'required-entry',
                          'required'  => true,
                          'name'      => 'smstext',
                          'onclick' => "",
                          'onkeyup' => "CheckLetterSize(this)",
                          'after_element_html' => '<br><b style="color:brown;"><span id="charNum"></span><span id="charNum1"></span></b><br><small>SMS text must <b>NOT</b> be longer then 160 characters!</small>',
                          'tabindex' => 1
                        ));






                if ( Mage::getSingleton('adminhtml/session')->getsmsnotificationData() )
                    {
                        $form->setValues(Mage::getSingleton('adminhtml/session')->getsmsnotificationData());
                        Mage::getSingleton('adminhtml/session')->setsmsnotificationData(null);
                    } elseif ( Mage::registry('smsnotification_data') ) {
                        $form->setValues(Mage::registry('smsnotification_data')->getData());
                    }
                // Add these two lines


                $form->setUseContainer(true);
                $this->setForm($form);

                ////

                return parent::_prepareForm();
            }
    }

When this form is submitted i want to get all Names, phones and emails of the members in the selected group. The second thing is, when no customer group is selected it must give me names, phones and emails for all customers in the store.

I used to get information about the user from Order information like this:

    class VivasIndustries_SmsNotification_Model_Observer
    {
        public function orderSaved(Varien_Event_Observer $observer)
        {
            /** **/

        $CustomerPhone = $observer->getOrder()->getBillingAddress()->getTelephone();
        $CustomerName = $observer->getOrder()->getBillingAddress()->getName();
        $CustomerEmail = $observer->getOrder()->getBillingAddress()->getEmail();
        } 
      }

I know that this is not even close to what i need but i don't know how to get this information.

Can you please help me out ?

Thanks in advance!

In your admin controller, where the form is posted: $groupId = $this->getRequest()->getPost('customergroups', ''); if (!empty($groupId)) { //Get customers from a group $customers = Mage::getModel('customer/customer') ->getCollection() ->addAttributeToSelect('*') ->addFieldToFilter('group_id', $groupId); } else { //Get all customers $customers = Mage::getModel('customer/customer') ->getCollection() ->addAttributeToSelect('*'); } $groupId = $this->getRequest()->getPost('customergroups', ''); if (!empty($groupId)) { //Get customers from a group $customers = Mage::getModel('customer/customer') ->getCollection() ->addAttributeToSelect('*') ->addFieldToFilter('group_id', $groupId); } else { //Get all customers $customers = Mage::getModel('customer/customer') ->getCollection() ->addAttributeToSelect('*'); }
