create user on contact request

[SysFix]

Hi, I own a computer store and need to do the following. On the contact us page , A customer asks a question regarding our services. I need to capture basic user details and automatically create a customer account on my store based on their question. This allows us to gather regional information on where our customers are coming from ..

Would be good if it could also send the welcome email too...

Not hard, but you will need to write your own code for that.

any chance of a few pointers?

The contact form will collect the data, then before sending the email you need to insert data into your database (probably need to create a new table to store this)
You may want to look at the files in includes/modules/pages/contact_us

does anyone else have a more details description on how to acheive this - dont need a new table as the customers table already contains user accounts -
I need only name, address, postcode ,email - create user, send email as normal
