回答1:

I don't quite understand your question... Are you having trouble calculating the age from a DOB?

If so, this should take care of your problem:

function Age($date = 'now')
{
    return intval(substr(date('Ymd') - date('Ymd', strtotime($date)), 0, -4));
}

var_dump(Age('1975-04-25')); // int(36)

if (Age('1975-04-25') >= 18)
{
    // proceed to registration
}
