which file inserts customer info in DB?

[g_force]

I'd like to make some alterations to how the customer information is inserted into the database upon sign up - can anyone let me know where the file is that does this ?? - I've not been able to find it using the developers tool kit for some reason.

_thanks

Messing with the DB can cause trouble
What exactly is it you wish to alter?

Thanks Kobra - I have already created another table in the DB and I am looking to separate customers - so if they select for example 'writer' - their details will be inserted into the new table ('writers') rather than the 'customers' table..

Best to run through a create account and a purchase as a writer as there is much code that pulls from the customer info table
You will need to create a "switch case" for every occurrence to insure that a writer's info is polled from the table you created

includes/modules/create_account.php

..but can't find it in there >> any help on this is really appreciated.

You can use the developers toolkit to search for instances of "customer" and you will see the many files that will require adding your writer table query to

thanks Kobra > it was this coding which was the reason nothing was coming up with the developers tool kit for inserting into the 'customers' table :

zen_db_perform(TABLE_CUSTOMERS, $sql_data_array);
