Hello,

I have been using Limesurvey for several years and made a number of installs.

I wanted today to make a fresh install of Limesurvey 1.87.

Everything went fine until I wanted to update the admin e.mail adress and password in the GUI interface

If I enter my e.mail adress (which contains a '-'), I get the error message:
Could not modify user data.

Email address is not valid.

When removing the '-', I do not get the error anymore (but obviously, the adress is not valid anymore)

Any idea would be welcomed ...

sincerely,
Franck

edit: To be more precise, having a '-' in the name (prior the @ is not a problem) but the probleme comes when the '-' is in the domain name (after the @)

Hello!

Please open a bug report on this. Thank you very much!

The same here. I'll waiting for a little fix.

Sincerely,
Andreas

It worked for me.

Hello

Thanks, it worked for me as well.

Neverthless, I am still OK to open a bug report if someone tell me how to log in Mantis

No need to report the bug anymore : it is resolved.

Just to explain the line :



the character - is the number 45 in the ASCII table, and 45 = 0x2d in hexa, and \\x2d in PHP unicode notation. So you can add other chars by modifying this line of code.

Here is the ASCII table :

So if you want the char + instead of -, it should be :

Thanks for posting your solution. The bugfix will be part of the next weekly stable plus release. This bugfix releases are mostly released Tuesday night.
