Answer 1

You can override Mage_Customer_AccountController and change createPostAction in which you can get customer fields using below code :

    foreach (Mage::getConfig()->getFieldset('customer_account') as $code=>$node) {
        if ($node->is('create') && isset($data[$code])) {
            switch($code) {
                case 'email':
                    $data[$code] = trim($data[$code]);
                    $email = $data[$code];
                break;
                case 'firstname':
                    $firstname = $data[$code];
                break;
                case 'lastname':
                    $lastname = $data[$code];
                break;
            }               
        }
    }

You can pass derived variables into your methods to process further.

Instead of overidding a controller file you can also use magento events handling.

customer_save_after is the event which gets called after a new customer registration.

http://www.magentocommerce.com/wiki/5_-_modules_and_development/reference/events

<events>
    <customer_save_after>
        <observers>
            <yournamespace_yourmodule_order_observer>
                <type>singleton</type>
                <class>Yournamespace_Yourmodule_Model_Observer</class>
                <method>sendemail</method>
            </yournamespace_yourmodule_order_observer>
        </observers>
    </customer_save_after>
</events>

Here is the sample code to be included in your module config file to files

Now create a file with name Observer.php in your Model folder and put following code:

<?php
class Yournamespace_Yourmodule_Model_Observer
{
    public function __construct()
    {
        //Just constrcutor for fun :-)
    }

    public function sendemail($observer)
    {
        //$observer contains the object returns in the event.
        $event = $observer->getEvent();
        $order = $event->getOrder();
        mage::log($order->getId());
        //Write code to send email
        return $this;
     }

}

Now whenever you will place order from anywhere in your magento store your function sendemail will be executed.

This worked for me:

// Pass customer information from Magento to SugarCRM
$customer_info = array(array('name' => 'first_name', 'value' => $this->getRequest()->getPost('firstname')),
                   array('name' => 'last_name', 'value' => $this->getRequest()->getPost('lastname')),
                   array('name' => 'email2', 'value' => $this->getRequest()->getPost('email')));

$response = $client->set_entry($session_id, 'Leads', $customer_info);

Answer 4

Have you tried getting all the post data using

$this->getRequest()->getPost()

I know that for magento's contact form it produces an array which looks like this - probably very similar for creating an account.

(
    [name] => test
    [email] => test@test.com
    [telephone] => 
    [comment] => test
    [captcha] => Array
        (
            [contact_form] => tttt
        )

    [hideit] => 
)
