You&#8217;ll need code to handle adding the input to the database, but that warrants a separate question.<\/p>\n<p>For the PHP, you&#8217;ll need to decide how to validate each field, and then add another <code>if<\/code> block for each question. For the HTML, you&#8217;ll need to add another input for each field.<\/p>\n<h2>Example Code<\/h2>\n<p>For date of birth, you should probably ensure that it&#8217;s a valid date. And then you may want to validate age as well.<\/p>\n<p>You might use PHP code like this for birth date:<\/p>\n<pre><code>\/\/test date\ntry {\n    $max_date = new DateTime('13 years ago');\n    $birth_date = new DateTime($_POST['birth_date']);\n    if ($birth_date &gt; $max_date) { {\n        $errors[] = 'You must be at least 13 years old.';\n    }\n} catch (Exception $e) {\n    $errors[] = 'Birth date is not a valid date.';\n}\n<\/code><\/pre>\n<p>You could then use the following to format the date for MySQL:<\/p>\n<pre><code>$birth_date-&gt;format('Y-m-d');\n<\/code><\/pre>\n<p>Relevant PHP manual pages:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/php.net\/datetime.construct.php\">DateTime::__construct<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/php.net\/datetime.formats.relative.php\">Relative date\/time formats<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/php.net\/datetime.format.php\">DateTime::format<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>And you might use HTML code like this for birth date:<\/p>\n<pre><code>&lt;h4&gt;Birth Date:&lt;\/h4&gt;\n&lt;input type=\"text\" name=\"birth_date\" value=\"&lt;?php if (isset($_POST['birth_date'])) echo htmlentities($_POST['birth_date']); ?&gt;\" \/&gt;\n<\/code><\/pre>\n<p>You could also format the input into separate fields for each part of the date and use drop down menus. I don&#8217;t find this is necessary since the <code>DateTime<\/code> class can handle a wide variety of formats. However, I usually add a <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/jqueryui.com\/datepicker\/\">jQuery Datepicker<\/a> to make it more user friendly.<\/p>\n<hr>\n<h2>Other Fields<\/h2>\n<p>The above should give you a good starting point. You can do something similar for each field. You need to <strong>show more personal effort<\/strong> if you expect people here to help.<\/p>\n<p>If you have specific questions about how to validate the other inputs, you should post a separate question (after first searching for the answer). Show what you&#8217;ve tried. Describe the result and explain how it&#8217;s different from the expected result.<\/p>\n<hr>\n<h2>Suggestions for Code Improvement<\/h2>\n<ol>\n<li>\n<p>I&#8217;d combine the two <code>if<\/code> blocks for username. If the username already exists, you don&#8217;t need to validate the format.<\/p>\n<pre><code>if ($users-&gt;user_exists($_POST['username']) === true) {\n    $errors[] = 'That username already exists';\n} else if (!ctype_alnum($_POST['username'])) {\n    $errors[] = 'Please enter a username with only alphabets and numbers';\n}\n<\/code><\/pre>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p>Comparing the return value of <code>empty($errors)<\/code> to true or false is redundant. The return value is always a boolean. You only need <code>if (empty($errors))<\/code> or <code>if (!empty($errors))<\/code>.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p>You should use <code>label<\/code> elements in your HTML instead of <code>h4<\/code> elements to make your HTML more semantic. You can then use CSS to style them however you want.<\/p>\n<pre><code>&lt;label for=\"fld-password\"&gt;Password:&lt;\/label&gt;\n&lt;input type=\"password\" id=\"fld-password\" name=\"password\" \/&gt;\n<\/code><\/pre>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"mt24\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>            <span class=\"d-none\" itemprop=\"commentCount\">5<\/span> <\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>[ad_2]<\/p>\n<p>solved How to add new fields in my registration form [closed] <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[ad_1] This is a very open-ended question.
