I have this code in php , i am trying to insert data to mysql but i face this problem Number of elements in type definition string doesn't match number of bind variables

Answer 1

Your type string in your statement doesn't have enough type specifiers in it.
bind_param("sss",$regValue1,$regValue2,$regValue3,$regValue4,$regValue5,$regValue6,$regValue7);
says that you have type "sss" which only corresponds to 3 of the 7 variables you specified. You need to add types for the rest.
From the documentation:
var1
The number of variables and length of string types must match the parameters in the statement.

Answer 2

The commands you are using are for using PDO to connect to an sql database and you are using mysqli. I gave an example using mysqli below that should work. The other option would be to change the connection to PDO type rather than mysqli.
<?php
session_start();
$regValue1 = $_GET['un'];
$regValue2 = $_GET['pass'];
$regValue3 = $_GET['fn'] ;
$regValue4 = $_GET['ln'];
$regValue5 = $_GET['age'] ;
$regValue6 = $_GET['sex'];
$regValue7 = $_GET['em'] ;
echo "hello: ".$regValue3.".";
$servername = "localhost";
$username = "root";
$password = "b4sonic";
$dbname = "blog";
$conn = new mysqli($servername, $username, $password, $dbname);
// Check connection
if ($conn->connect_error) {
die("Connection failed: " . $conn->connect_error);
}
$sql = "INSERT INTO register(un,pass,fn,ln,age,sex,email)".
"VALUES (`$regValue1`,`$regValue2`,`$regValue3`,`$regValue4`,`$regValue5`,`$regValue6`,`$regValue7`)";
$conn->query($sql);
echo $conn->affected_rows. " new records created successfully";
$conn->close();
?>
