using of preg_match(USER_PREG, $_POST['user']) isn't good. may be just replace invalid character to entities? Bacause this disallow you create users with non-english letters and with ' in name

Good way is to use

$_POST['user'] = htmlspecialchars($_POST['user'], ENT_QUOTES);

than

preg_match(USER_PREG, $_POST['user'])

in line 53 of panel_register.php (latest cvs )
