CodeIgniter: Tank Auth, Adding Date of Birth Issues - php

Question

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.

Answer 1

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.
function create_user($username, $firstname, $lastname, $email, $password, $email_activation, $dob1, $dob2, $dob3)
changed to
function create_user($username, $dob1, $dob2, $dob3, $firstname, $lastname, $email, $password, $email_activation)
This matched the create_user() call i had in the auth.php:
if (!is_null($data = $this->tank_auth->create_user(
$use_username ? $this->form_validation->set_value('username') : '',
$this->form_validation->set_value('dob1'),
$this->form_validation->set_value('dob2'),
$this->form_validation->set_value('dob3'),
$this->form_validation->set_value('firstname'),
$this->form_validation->set_value('lastname'),
$this->form_validation->set_value('email'),
$this->form_validation->set_value('password'),
$email_activation)))
