Hi Tom! :)

Hey Garv, somehow I know you would answer :)

Where it is the ereg($re0 . '%|_', $show_grants_dbname) parts that returns true (1).

Now, I don't really know what this ereg() does, except for this part: $re0 = '(^|(\\\\)+|[^])'; Which I am sorry to say I don't understand.

As you are using an underscore in your grant, that one acts as a wildcard character; thus your user is effectively able to create databases matching that wildcard scheme.

See our FAQ 6.10 or this recent support request https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=377408&aid=965109&... for more information on that issue.

I see, okay I can understand it's function and it's purpose now. I will just hack around it on my servers.

Thanks
