My multistep Laravel form needs two quick but critical adjustments. First, the phone number input currently lives on the second page; I want it moved to the first page, positioned directly below the name field. After the relocation it should look identical to the original, pass its existing validation, and store the value exactly as it does now. Second, the date-of-birth field is not persisting to the database. The value appears in the form but never makes it through the controller to the model. I need the underlying issue—whether in the migration, model casting, or request handling—identified and fixed so the date saves and reloads correctly.
