I've been struggling to modify nuke more user friendly especially to my fellow Japanese users. It's OK so far, nuke works fine and now I'm thinking about modifying Your_Account module. And on that point, I have a question.
To be more precise, as of now nuke accepts user names in English (alphabetic characters) only. I'd like to allow them to use other characters like Japanese, Korean, Chinese or whatever.
But modifying Your_Account is not so easy because it holds important clues to security. I can't be too careful to keep it secure so I want you guys to ask for good advice.
Code:
if ((!$uname) || ($uname=="") || (ereg("[^a-zA-Z0-9_-]",$uname))) $stop = "<center>"._ERRORINVNICK."</center><br>";
Above is in Your_Account/index.php and this checks input strings. "ereg" kicks out any non-alphabetic character. My question is about this part. I want to modify it to reject only improper characters, and make it to accept Japanese and other language. Will you give me some tips? Any suggestion is welcome.
# Phew... It's quite difficult to explain such things in non-native language.
Thank you in advance.

To avoid the junk between the Roman alphabet and the Cyrillic one, I just add the Cyrillic range after the Roman one, like that:
a-zа-яA-ZА-Я
I suppose, you should first check whether Japanese characters are being accepted by the Forum Registration filter, and if positive, then simply shut up the mainway registration via Your Account.

Thanks. If I remember right, I could register to phpBB2 with Japanese user name. That's nice and handy-way.
