I seem to have an issue with users who copy-paste their usernames and passwords coping and pasting leading and trailing space characters. The obvious fix was to trim() the values that I receive, but I worry how that would affect users who use a space at the beginning or end of their password. Of course, if I trim() also when the user is setting his password then he will never know that his password is really 1 digit shorter, but do I really want to do that? Thoughts? Thanks!
Can't you simply specify the allowed characters that can be used for PWs and usernames?
I always do, e.g., 6-8, case sensitive, alphanumerics, and the following characters: "@, #, $, %, &, *, -".
Then, I trim() and check the submitted PW for any exceptions to the rules. -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
