I am making registration using [Create pages from frontend | Kirby CMS](https://getkirby.com/docs/cookbook/forms/creating-pages-from-frontend)  
Also checked how to send emails [Contact form | Kirby CMS](https://getkirby.com/docs/cookbook/forms/basic-contact-form)

Need help: what code and where to add? Having the same controller as here [Create pages from frontend | Kirby CMS](https://getkirby.com/docs/cookbook/forms/creating-pages-from-frontend#the-event-php-controller)

Not sure if all is right, but this is working:

```
<?php

return function ($kirby, $page) {

    // if the form has been submitted…
    if ($kirby->request()->is('POST') && get('register')) {

        // check the honeypot and exit if is has been filled in
        if(empty(get('website')) === false) {
            go($page->url());
            exit;
        }

        $data = [
            'name' => get('name'),
            'surname' => get('surname'),
            'email' => get('email'),
            'birthdate' => get('birthdate'),
            'group' => get('group'),
            'city' => get('city'),
            'club' => get('club'),
            'phone' => get('phone'),
            'message' => get('message'),
            'newsletter' => get('newsletter'),
            'pageurl' => $page->uri(),
            'pagetitle' => $page->title(),
        ];

        $rules = [
            'name' => ['required'],
            'surname' => ['required'],
            'email' => ['required', 'email'],
        ];

        $messages = [
            'name' => 'Please enter your (link: #name text: name)',
            'surname' => 'Please enter your (link: #surname text: surname)',
            'email' => 'Please enter a valid (link: #email text: email address)',
        ];

        // some of the data is invalid
        if ($invalid = invalid($data, $rules, $messages)) {
            $alert = $invalid;

        } else {

            // authenticate as almighty
            $kirby->impersonate('kirby');

            // everything is ok, let's try to create a new registration
            try {
                // we store registrations as subpages of the current page
                $registration = $page->createChild([

                $kirby->email([
