How to Create a Registration Form

Step 1 - Add HTML:

Use the <form> element to handle input. You can learn more about it in our PHP tutorial.

Then add input controls (with matching labels) for each field:

<form action="action_page.php">
  <div class="container">
    <h1>Register</h1>
    <p>Please fill in this form to create an account.</p>
    <hr>
    <label for="email"><b>Email</b></label>
    <input type="text" placeholder="Enter Email" name="email" id="email" required>
    <label for="psw"><b>Password</b></label>
    <input type="password" placeholder="Enter Password" name="psw" id="psw" required>
    <label for="psw-repeat"><b>Repeat Password</b></label>
    <input type="password" placeholder="Repeat Password" name="psw-repeat" id="psw-repeat" required>
    <hr>
    <p>By creating an account you agree to our <a href="#">Terms & Privacy</a>.</p>
    <button type="submit" class="registerbtn">Register</button>
  </div>
  <div class="container signin">
    <p>Already have an account? <a href="#">Sign in</a>.</p>
  </div>
</form>

Second step - Add CSS:

* {box-sizing: border-box}
/* Add padding to the container */
.container {
  padding: 16px;
}
/* Full width input fields */
input[type=text], input[type=password] {
  width: 100%;
  padding: 15px;
  margin: 5px 0 22px 0;
  display: inline-block;
  border: none;
  background: #f1f1f1;
}
input[type=text]:focus, input[type=password]:focus {
  background-color: #ddd;
  outline: none;
}
/* Override default style for hr */
hr {
  border: 1px solid #f1f1f1;
  margin-bottom: 25px;
}
/* Set style for submit/register button */
.registerbtn {
  background-color: #04AA6D;
  color: white;
  padding: 16px 20px;
  margin: 8px 0;
  border: none;
  cursor: pointer;
  width: 100%;
  opacity: 0.9;
}
.registerbtn:hover {
  opacity:1;
}
/* Add blue text color to links */
a {
  color: dodgerblue;
}
/* Set gray background color for the 'login' section and center the text */
.signin {
  background-color: #f1f1f1;
  text-align: center;
}
