[Forum] I can't register

[SWSUSA]

I can't understand. The registration of a user with the nickname for example Олег Николаевич, I can't register, so as to send a message:

Your user name can not be longer than 25 characters.

although the characters is less than 25. It is not clear.

Here's forum http://glbyh.ru, you can try the register.

Perhaps those characters are more than 1 byte each?

[AliMadkour]

that's because you are using special characters.

There are problems with encoding cp1251 and utf8. I changed the encoding to the database cp1251 to utf8. On the server, the default character set cp1251. For information on the current encoding in phpMyAdmin entered the command:

SHOW VARIABLES LIKE "char%";

The result:

character_set_client utf8
character_set_connection utf8
character_set_database utf8
character_set_filesystem binary
character_set_results utf8
character_set_server cp1251
character_set_system utf8
character_sets_dir / .ro / usr / local / mysql / share / mysql / charsets /

SHOW VARIABLES LIKE '% collation%';

The result:

collation_connection utf8_general_ci
collation_database utf8_general_ci
collation_server cp1251_general_ci

SHOW GLOBAL VARIABLES LIKE "char%";

The result:

character_set_client cp1251
character_set_connection cp1251
character_set_database cp1251
character_set_filesystem binary
character_set_results cp1251
character_set_server cp1251
character_set_system utf8

This is not a special character, it is Russian.

In Russian language the user may not register under the name of Oleg Nikolaevich and under other similar names.

I believe this is because Russian characters are saved as two-bytes string while using UTF.

At the request of the user I registered her nickname Svetlana Vladimirovna in the admin panel. In the given nickname 20 Russian letters. But the users themselves don't make it.

This user Светлана Владимировна.

I is PHP 5.2, I went to the hosting and configure the settings by adding the extension mbstring. The problem disappeared, I can record the user name of 25 characters including spaces.

Along the way, I put the module PHP 5.3 (it was available to me) in the settings mbstring extension is necessary. Everything is fine! Problems with labels also missing.
