at the registration a username with a german ß don’t blocked, i put it in the variable $illegals, but no effect.

// Check username for bullshit.
$illegals = array('.' , ',' , '/' , '\\' , '`' , ';' , '[' ,  ']' , '-', "'", '*', 'ß', '&', '^', '%', '$', '#', '@', '!', '~', '+', '(', ')', '|', '{', '}', '<', '>', '?', ':', '"', '=');

what is wrong?

sorry for my bad english....

Is your modx installation using UTF-8? If you’re using another charset (e.g. ISO-8859-1), chances are there is some conversion going on behind the scenes, i.e. ß

Yes my modx installation using UTF-8. But der was no other chance in use ascii-code or other. But Only the view of the users (&type=`users`) have a problem with the "ß" there come a modx database error. Modx dont´t have a problem with them. When i look at the security/webuser page in the manager, there are all users correct, even theres with the ß. The error also must in the users database of webloginpe?

There are a number of PHP functions that don’t work well (or at all) with UTF-8; this probably uses one of those functions.
