Magento - customer_save_after always fired twice

Question

I am using the customer_save_after event in magento, and all is working fine apart from 1 annoying thing - it is always fired twice.

There are no other

Answer 1

Be careful with Jonathans solution, 'customer_save_observer_executed' stays in the session, so event will not be fired again in the browser session. So it's generally a bad idea, because it will not allow to register two or more customers in a row(actually, it will, but events will not be fired)

I suggest the following solution:

public function customerRegister(Varien_Event_Observer $observer)
{       
    $customer = $observer->getEvent()->getCustomer();          
    if (!$customer->getId())
        return $this;                

    if(Mage::registry('customer_save_observer_executed_'.$customer->getId()))
        return $this;  

    //your code goes here

    Mage::register('customer_save_observer_executed_'.$customer->getId(),true); 
}
