Problems registering with Unicode

[Mike Sullivan]

This is all in register.php. Find:if (strpos($_POST['username'], ';') !== false)

Replace it with:

if (preg_match('/(?<!&#[0-9]{3}|&#[0-9]{4}|&#[0-9]{5});/', $_POST['username']))

You will also want to remove the code in red from the line below:

$_POST['username'] = trim(preg_replace('#\s+#si', ' ', unhtmlspecialchars($_POST['username'])));

Now in admincp/user.php you want to find:

if (strpos($user['username'], ';') !== false)

Replace it with:

if (preg_match('/(?<!&#[0-9]{3}|&#[0-9]{4}|&#[0-9]{5});/', $user['username']))

[Mike Sullivan]

All in private.php. Find:
else if (strpos($pm['recipients'], ';') !== false) // multiple recipients attempted
Replace with:
else if (preg_match('/(?<!&#[0-9]{3}|&#[0-9]{4}|&#[0-9]{5});/', $pm['recipients'])) // multiple recipients attempted
Now find: (about 2 lines down)
$users = explode(';', $pm['recipients']);
Replace with:
$users = preg_split('/(?<!&#[0-9]{3}|&#[0-9]{4}|&#[0-9]{5});/', $pm['recipients'], -1, PREG_SPLIT_NO_EMPTY);

any idea fix this??

[Mike Sullivan]

I couldn't reproduce the error of the text being changed with a different set of unicode. I was able to register with a unicode name and my name was displayed correctly on the main page.

The login issue is from client-side md5'ing. I'm not sure how to resolve it right now; we're looking into it.

Ok, Scott created a nice JS function that converts the unicode characters to the proper format for client-side md5'ing. It'll be in beta 4. :)
