wordpress user registration optional fileds with php

Question

The WordPress registration default function just have 3 options:

 <?php wp_create_user( $username, $password, $email ); ?>

If I want to add some other fileds, like age or somtehing else! with written PHP form, how can I do this?

wp_users have some columns, like user_login & user_email $ user_status. Can I add new column like age? And, if I can, how can I register it with php page?

Like function:

wp_create_user( $username, $password, $email ,$age);

If it's impossible, how can I create a new table, like wp_specialusers and access to it using PHP, like:

wpdb::query('insert something to wp_specialusers..?') or
mysql_query('insert ...')

I want like this

<?php /* Template Name: wallet */ ?>
<?php get_header(); ?>
<form action=" --->WHERE!?<--- " method="post">
AGE : <input type="text" name="age">
<button type="submit">
</form>

tnx a lot

No, you don’t do this by adding new columns to the user table, nor by creating your own table. Use the proper meta data functionality as it already exists! https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/add_user_meta — CBroe, Apr 26 '18 at 13:40
tanx but its just can change user meta if i want set user name or lastname Simultaneous sign up i cant use it — Danial Qsk, Apr 26 '18 at 14:01
Maybe you should rather look into ACF then. That provides relatively easy ways to configure additional meta fields, _and_ to automatically attach according form fields in different places (such as the user profile.) — CBroe, Apr 26 '18 at 14:15

You first need to use the wp_create_user( $username, $password, $email ) function like you originally have and then you need to run the wp_update_user() function afterwards to insert additional data. The additional data columns should already exist. If you want to add custom additional user data then you should use a plugin such as AdvancedCustomFields

<?php
$user_id = // ID of the user you just created;

$website = 'http://example.com'; // additional data

$user_data = wp_update_user( 
   array( 
     'ID' => $user_id,
     'user_url' => $website
   )
);

if ( is_wp_error( $user_data ) ) {
    // There was an error; possibly this user doesn't exist.
    echo 'Error.';
} else {
    // Success!
    echo 'User profile updated.';
}
?>

Update: OP wants to insert additional data at the same time of creation.

Then use wp_insert_user()

// Extra info to add
$website = "http://example.com";
$nickname = "Superman";
$description = "My description."

$userdata = array(
    'user_login' =>  'login_name',
    'user_url'   =>  $website,
    'nickname'   =>  $nickname,
    'description'=>  $description,
    'user_pass'  =>  NULL // When creating an user, `user_pass` is expected.
);

$user_id = wp_insert_user( $userdata ) ;

// On success.
if ( ! is_wp_error( $user_id ) ) {
    echo "User created : ". $user_id;
}

i want user do it At the same time with sign up i think it has 2 levels – Danial Qsk Apr 26 '18 at 14:02
@DanialQsk you want users to add `php` code? you should write your own logic, which users will use.ex. - if you added code for processing/adding field {`Like football` : yes/no }, then you should to add input with php/html related to `Like Football`, and after add php code to process it ( clear and check input ), and after add information into `usermeta` table. what's not clear from written above? – Samvel Aleqsanyan Apr 26 '18 at 14:07
nooo i just want my simple sign up form white some more options like age telephon and other else – Danial Qsk Apr 26 '18 at 14:10
so, use `add_user_meta()` function. it'll add any fields you want into `usermeta` table of your database. and will relate to the user – Samvel Aleqsanyan Apr 26 '18 at 14:13

@DanialQsk `wp_create_user()` returns the `ID` of the last person if it is successful in creating the user. I've updated my answer with a different function. You should really watch some basic tutorials on how WP works, or better yet, just read the documentation. – ProEvilz Apr 26 '18 at 16:00
