Can you post the source to your registration file(s).

We don't call people "noob" in this section.

Anyway, it should be able to be solved with a simple conditional statement, no?

$message = (string) null; //predefine message string.
$regi_error = (int) null; //predefine registration error counter
if(eregi('mod-',$_POST['user'])==true) //check if the username contains 'mod-' of any case (upper, lower, mixed..)
{
    $message .= 'Your name is invalid.'; //tell users their name is invalid....
    $regi_error++; //add to the registration error counter
}

if($regi_error<1) //Check if there are errors.
{
    //continue checking form...
}

Hope that helps

Although EREG functions will not be used anymore in the new PHP version, you should start working with PREG functions

Hmm interesting. i didn't know that. Well I can work with PREG functions.

Well, 321olos, if you decide to upgrade to PHP 5.3, you can put these functions on there and they will let it work. These are not equivalents, but they will work for this purpose.. and most.

if(!function_exists(ereg))
{
    function ereg($needle,$haystack)
    {
         return preg_match( '/'.$needle.'/', $haystack );
    }
}

if(!function_exists(eregi))
{
    function eregi($needle,$haystack)
    {
         return preg_match( '/'.strtolower($needle).'/', strtolower($haystack) );
    }
}

If str_ functions still work.. :/:

I don't know exactly what it was but there was something with em lol. Ofcourse the functions still can be used, but it's not recommended to do (Deprecated Functions).

It already starts at PHP 5.2 -> PHP 5.3

Quote from php.net:

Deprecated functions: 
ereg() (use preg_match() instead) 
ereg_replace() (use preg_replace() instead) 
eregi() (use preg_match() with the 'i' modifier instead) 
eregi_replace() (use preg_replace() with the 'i' modifier instead)

(and more)

I dont have a hotel but i have a small forum that i coded some pages a for and i changed the register around. And when they registered with MOD- in fornt of there names they started deleting ppl. But now they dont
