Can't register users from .name domain

[Phil Beevor]

Hi,

No user with a .NAME domain in their email address seems to be able to
register as a new user (eg anne@smith.name). Is there some email validation
php code that can be modified ? Users with .com, .info all regsiter OK but not
.NAME.

Can anyone help?

Thanks, Phil

If you look into register.php file, you'll find a block (around line 100) like
this:

else if (!eregi("^((?)@(?)\.(fo|g|l|m|mes|o|op|pa|ro|seum|t|u|v|z)?)$",
$EMAIL))

{

$Error = L_ERR_USR_8;

}

The first line is the condition that check the domain extension.

You might want to change that first line to this new one:

else if (!eregi("^((?)@(?)\.(avel|bi|bs|fo|g|ia|l|m|me|mes|o|op|pa|ro|seum|
t|to|u|v|z)?)$", $EMAIL))

This will accept all the generic top-level domains listed here:

PS: you should do the same in the file edituser.php (around line 84), for
profile updates.

Let us know how it worked!

Follow-up: You also want to modify the same condition in these files:

handleinputH.php

input.php

passreset.php

lib/commands/topic.php

lib/commands/away.php

Sorry for the inconvenience.

You said it works now, but, by mistake, I erased your post.

I answered: Great, another nice fix thanks to you :)

All the best. Ciprian M.
