Characters that can be used in a username

Is there any way to make it so that when someone registers with my site they can use charters like {This} or [This] using the brackets?

I found this in the functions.php is there any way to change this so the {} [] brackets will be useable in a user name?

Code:

function ya_userCheck($username) {
global $stop, $user_prefix, $db, $ya_config;
// Need to find a way to include extended caracters
//if ((!$username) || ($username=="") || (ereg("[^À-ÿa-zA-Z0-9_-]",$username))) $stop = "<center>"._ERRORINVNICK."</center><br>";
if ((!$username) || ($username=="") || (ereg("[^a-zA-Z0-9_-]",$username))) $stop = "<center>"._ERRORINVNICK."</center><br>";

For example if I try to register the name {MY}Name I get this error:

Registration Error!
ERROR: Invalid Nickname

If I remove the line

Code:

if ((!$username) || ($username=="") || (ereg("[^a-zA-Z0-9_-}-{-[-]-]",$username))) $stop = "<center>"._ERRORINVNICK."</center><br>";

Will it let me use the {} () [] in a user name?

If not is there any way to let users use the {}()[] brackets in there name?

I am using PHP-Nuke-Platinum-7.6.0 with CNB Your Account 4.4.0 b2

Thanks

In the code like

Code:

"[^À-ÿa-zA-Z0-9_-]"

You want to add the characters you want to use between the brackets. Note the actual bracket character needs to be escaped to use \[\]

Removing that line is not recommending, it may allow people to abuse it
