I am trying to use the email form to put data into mysql database.
I cannot fill in the correct username because it dows not allow @
please see attachment
Hello Björn,
The @ is not allowed by default in the mySQL Databasefor the username so the program is showing you this message. Check please if the username is correct because the mySQL standars is using the @ as separator and so it will not work inside the username.
Many thanks!

I I see it, this answer is wrong.
@ is allowed in mysql-usernames. I have confirmed that by adding such a user in my own database. And my webhost (loopia.se) say that they can not fix a username without the @ sign. So this must be something that your system checks and not allow.

So, now I have succeeded in getting the mail form to put data in the mysql database.
I edited the php-script created by your application and put in the correct username with the @ sign in it.
I think this shows that You should allow @ in user names.
