UBB.Developers Forums UBB.threads 7 Development How Do I? spaces in usernames

If you did want to add spaces for the no-special-characters case, you could do it like this:

adduser.php (6.1b1), change:

code:
// No special characters 
   if (!$config['specialc']) { 
      if (!preg_match("/^\w+$/",$Username)) { 
         $html -> not_right($ubbt_lang['BAD_UNAME'],$Cat); 
      } 
   }

---

to:

code:
// No special characters 
   if (!$config['specialc']) { 
      $username_pattern = '{ 
         ^\w    # must start with word-character [A-Za-z0-9_] 
         [\w ]* # zero or more word-characters or spaces 
         \w$    # must end with word-character 
      }x';      # x-modifier removes whitespace and comments from pattern 
      if (!preg_match($username_pattern,$Username)) { 
         $html -> not_right($ubbt_lang['BAD_UNAME'],$Cat); 
      } 
   }
