Ok, So I have added a Date of Birth section for the registration process. I have done it in a weird way probably but it is a logical way to do it in my mind so as long as it works I am fine with it. I have created 3 dob fields (dob1, dob2, dob3 – for month, day, year). The problem I have right now is when a user registers the dob values are not stored properly into the database (it seems the values are just random, they show up as random numbers and letters). So I am curious as to what I am doing wrong. Here is what I have done.
EDIT: I have found the problem, but still am looking for a solution. The ordering is mixed up somewhere. My first 2 letters of email go into dob1, first 2 letters of password go into dob2 (dont know if pass or confirm pass), dob1 goes to firstname, dob2 goes to lastnam, username is fine, dob3 goes to email. So I have mixed up the ordering of my array somewhere but I am nut sure where it counts.
EDIT2: I have found my issue. Answer is below.

Libraries: Tank_Auth.php – I know this is not the whole dob, but calling this function returns nothing, i figure if I can return 1 dob then i can easily return them all. EDIT: I just realized I did not include all of my changes for this file.

**ALSO: If you know how to change the width of the td tag for the registration_form.php then please let me know. I am struggling with that also the simple does not work.
I found where I messed up. I was passing the fields in the wrong order when I called the create_user() function in auth.php. I when into the Tank_Auth.php file and reordered my parameters for that function to match what I was passing in the auth.php.
changed to
This matched the create_user() call i had in the auth.php:
