Note that only fields specified in the $fieldList attribute will be contained in the [value] array:
Array ( [message] => STRING [values] => ARRAY ( //Address Fields [address_firstName] => STRING [address_lastName] => STRING [address_company] => STRING [addressName] => STRING [street1] => STRING [street2] => STRING [city] => STRING [state] => STRING [state_alt] => STRING [zipCode] => STRING [country] => STRING [phone1] => STRING [phone2] => STRING [phone3] => STRING [fax] => STRING //User Account Fields [firstName] => STRING [lastName] => STRING [emailAddress] => STRING [password] => STRING [passwordConfirm] => STRING [userNotes] => STRING [company] => STRING [title] => STRING //Custom Fields [custom_field_...] => STRING ... ) )
