  	$ids = Mage::getSingleton('checkout/session')->getLastOrderId();
  	$order = Mage::getModel('sales/order')->load($ids);
  	if ($order->getCustomerId() === NULL) {
  	$_billingAddress = $order->getBillingAddress();
  	$_isGuest = $order->getCustomerIsGuest();
  	$customer_fname = $order->getCustomerFirstname();
  	$customer_lname = $order->getCustomerLastname();
  	$customer_email = $order->getCustomerEmail();
  	$customer = Mage::getModel('customer/customer');
  	$customer->setWebsiteId(Mage::app()->getWebsite()->getId());
  	$customer->loadByEmail($customer_email);
  	$street = $_billingAddress->getStreet();
  	/*
  	* Check if the email exist on the system.
  	* If YES, it will not create a user account.
  	*/
  	if (!$customer->getId()) {
  	//setting data such as email, firstname, lastname, and password
  	$customer->setEmail($customer_email);
  	$customer->setFirstname($customer_fname);
  	$customer->setLastname($customer_lname);
  	$customer->setPassword($customer->generatePassword());

  	$customer->save();
  	$customer->sendNewAccountEmail();
  	echo 'donneeee';
  	} catch (Exception $ex) {
  	}
  	}
  	//Build billing and shipping address for customer, for checkout
  	$_custom_address = array(
  	'firstname' => $customer_fname,
  	'lastname' => $customer_lname,
  	'street' => array(
  	'0' => $street[0],
  	// '1' => $street[1],

  	$customAddress = Mage::getModel('customer/address');
  	$customAddress->setData($_custom_address)
  	->setCustomerId($customer->getId())
  	->setIsDefaultBilling('1')

  	$order->setCustomerGroupId(1);
  	$order->save();
  	echo 'customer group changed';
  	endif;
  	$customAddress->save();
  	echo 'customer address saved';
