Problem with username registration plugin

[malmazan]

$this->fetch_field('username') = ucwords(strtolower($this->fetch_field('username')));

I made this plugin to capitalize all usernames to ensure consistency.

Though simple, i get errors ( i am very much a newbie).

errors:
Warning: preg_match(): Compilation failed: PCRE does not support \L, \l, \N, \U, or \u at offset 3 in /includes/class_dm_user.php on line 399

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '=' in /home/..../includes/class_dm_user.php(1556) : eval()'d code on line 1

I'd appreciate some help.

Actually i believe the

Warning: preg_match(): Compilation failed: PCRE does not support \L, \l, \N, \U, or \u

error came from trying to restrict to unicode letter characters on the Admin CP Username regex

Any ideas as to where the error is coming from?

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '=' in /home/..../includes/class_dm_user.php(1556) : eval()'d code on line 1

I change my code to $username = ucwords(strtolower($this->fetch_field('username')));

Now i do not get an error, but the line seems to have no effect on the username either.

That is using the userdata_presave hook

Man, is this driving me insane ...

Since the plugin was not working, i though i would try changing class_dm_user.php file instead.

So i replaced: So i replaced: $username = trim(preg_replace('#\s+#si', ' ', strip_blank_ascii($username, ' ')));


with $username = ucwords(strtolower(trim(preg_replace('#\s+#si', ' ', strip_blank_ascii($username, ' '))))); (ie. add ucwords(strtolower to teh existing line)
And still no results!!

Can anyone shed some light on this?

?I am begging you!
