Hi Olaf

I noticed you moved to a new website (not sure about the address) and your script is available at PHPclasses.org aswell now. Is this version up to date aswell? It doesn't say a version number at that website. Also it's just a little bit more convineant when the version number is in the filename but that doesn't matter so much...

Now my buddy has problems with registering a new account with my website. His e-mail is similar to abcd_@hotmail.com. I'm using an older version of access user class (1.96) but i checked the new version and the line where i think it goes wrong is the same.

Line 290:
if (preg_match("/^[0-9a-z]+(([\.\-_])[0-9a-z]+)*@[0-9a-z]+(([\.\-])[0-9a-z-]+)*\.[a-z]{2,4}$/i", $mail_address)) {

I'm not a hero in regular expression so i will have to look in it more carefully. I just wanted to report this 'bug'. I'm planning to upgrade to a new version of access user class soon are there any important things i need to change in my scripts to work with the new version?

Thx for your support, a happy user !

Hi,

the script on phpclasses.org is very old, I stopped contributing code to that site because the site is very slow and it's a lot of work to update each file to that site.

About your problem:
This might be very difficult and depends on many factors because it could be that hotmail is blocking your mail!

Try the latest version which has support for the phpmailer class. (send emails via SMTP). I hope that helps

I forgot to mention it gives error message 16: The e-mail address is not valid.

The script will simply not accept this e-mail address and therefore not send an e-mail either. Sending e-mails works to other hotmail account though.

I don't know why this e-mail address would be considered not to be valid but i double checked it with my buddy and he is infact using this address (so he says). Perhaps the general 'rules' of what to be considered a valid address changed along the way?

don't know I created that pattern according the "official" rules, if you want to accpet those addresses you should use this pattern:

if (preg_match("/^[0-9a-z]+(([\.\-_])[0-9a-z]*)*@[0-9a-z]+(([\.\-])[0-9a-z-]+)*\.[a-z]{2,6}$/i", $mail_address)) {

Thanks for the fix olaf !

I'm planning to upgrade from 1.96 to the newest version 1.99 are there any concern points i need to take into account, any adjustments i have to make in my scripts?
I read somewhere that the activation method slightly changed. But apart from that i don't know.
I trust the new examples work for the new version?

I always try to keep the changes inside the class

but I'm honest if I say that every project using the classes from this site having strong customizations ...
