Multipul Issues -- Register Script

[timecatcher]

Hello, im having a few issues that I can't think how to solve concerning my register script.

 

Im getting the error password empty before I get a username empty error. I don't fully understand why this is.

 

My second issue is im not sure how to convert the three date variables into a birthday field in my database.

 

The last issue I think is the fact that I have to take into consideration those born in leap years since clearly february 29th doesn't always exist.

 

Hope this makes sense, and someone could shed some light on this for me.

 

 

Thanks. Here is the web address for the script: http://kurukolands.co.uk/Register.php and the script itself:
