#3537 closed defect (bug) (fixed)

Validate $wpdb->prefix complies with [a-zA-Z0-9_] restriction

Description

$wpdb->prefix ($table_prefix in wp-config.php) has a [a-zA-Z0-9_] restriction, but it is not enforced. Characters out of this range will make WP spew errors. We should gracefully die and explain why.

We also should proabbly only enforce that if no alternate db.php file is in use.

Matt/Ryan, can we get 2.0.7 added as a version and 2.0.8 added as a milestone in Trac?
