Fixed registering username in Hebrew

[canina]

When registering a new user, the forum does not allow registering user names in Hebrew

I followed the username validation in the src\XF\Pub\Controller\Misc.php file

For some reason the validation in the actionValidateUsername function returns empty, so the getPrintableErrorValue function (in src\XF\Validator\Username.php) returns the above result as if it were empty, Although he is a whole word.

What I did in the end is that I changed the function isValid in the file src/XF/Validator/Username.php line 26

So:

//$usernameLength = utf8_strlen($username);
$usernameLength = mb_strlen($username, 'UTF-8');

I can't reproduce this. Can you provide your PHP version, whether or not the mbstring extension is installed (check admin.php?tools/phpinfo -- don't rely on the server environment report), your settings for the options below, and a Hebrew name which is not considered valid?

Closing this out as in 2.3 we use mb_strlen and I can't reproduce any issues. If it comes up again feel free to open a new report.

Just FYI, Using XF 2.2.16 (and previous versions) we never encountered this issue.
