Me again!
I am trying to restrict the characters that a user can enter for a username. I am using something similar to the test code below that does not allow certain characters.
Is there a better way of doing this?
Thanks
Mike.
if(isset($varusername))
{
$varusername = trim($varusername);
$varusername = strip_tags($varusername);
echo $varusername."<br>";
if (strlen($varusername) >= 6)
if (!eregi("[\$\"\\-_=&£%!#~@;:\.\,?\^\|\{\}\(\)\*\+]",$varusername))
{
echo "ok";
}
}
?>

Seems to me that you are covering all the angles here. I don't see a problem at all with this code.
