if ((!$uname) || !(ereg("^[[:print:]]+",$uname) && !ereg("[[:space:]]",$uname))) {
/*if ((!$uname) || ($uname=="") || (ereg("[^a-zA-Z0-9_-]",$uname))) {*/
$stop = "<center><font class="\"pn-title\"">"._ERRORINVNICK."</center>
";
}

How can I write something similar to dissallow the & in a username?

if ((!$uname) || !(ereg("^[[:print:]]+",$uname) && !ereg("[[:space:]]",$uname) && !ereg("\&",$uname))) {

Right on because the user data was showing empty when they used & in the name. Thanks again.
