Checking for banned characters problem

[www.mihalism.com]

I made a function to check if a name contains banned characters. When the function does check for a banned character it always return false.

	function banned_letters($name){	global $_CONFIG;		for($i=0; $i < strlen($name); $i++){			$pos = strrpos($_CONFIG['allowed_letters'],$name{$i});				if ($pos === false){					return true;				}else{					return false;				}		}	}

Wow, you are trying wayyy too hard!

function banned_letters($name){$pattern = "/(\!\@\#\$\%\^\&\*\(\))/is";$regex = ereg($pattern, "", $name);if($regex){  return false;}else{  return true;}

That should work, untested though! So you may have to try it. Tell me if it doesnt work.
