    • Re: Can login validation ignore capitalization in username?

    Posted by Damian Parker posts: 2881 United Kingdom

    Latest code in CVS does allow case insensativity. however it will cause problems for those who already have two usernames in existance which are cased differently.

    To save running the unstable CVS code on your production site, you can apply a little hack locally to strtolower( ) the username when it gets checked against the database.

    I have decided to accept that users have to enter ))JohnSmith(( (capitalized) when they log on. Thanks for your reply.

    (Using strtolower is smart, but it would have to be applied to the name stored in the database as well as on the name entered, right before checking. I really wouldn't know how to insert the conversion, I guess I could figure it out if I wanted to. Maybe later.)
