Good to know filter_var() exists in PHP5
Unless you have PHP5 you better validate the string in the way of checking
if it is fit's to your allowed characters and not checking if it contains
the NOT allowed charaters.
You better use: [a-z0-9A-Z\_\.]+ instead of [^\)\(\*\&\^\%\$\#\@\!\~]+ and I
haven't started yet with the weirdy ones....
