That would not be POSIX compliant... A USERNAME must be: ^[A-Za-z_][-_.A-Za-z0-9]* So the allowed chars should at least: -_.A-Za-z0-9 But his can be easily checked in PHP. And ONLY after this passed to your wraper script. Note: I do this too on a public server and I asume, you know I have hackattemts, even if you can not know it.
