what is the difference between these lines of code?

RewriteRule    ^([\d]{2}).html$	index.php?n=$1
RewriteRule		^(.+)\.html$ index.php?n=$1 [QSA,L]

PHP:

what is the difference between these 2 lines of code. thanks

 

These are from .htaccess file? I think that first line catches strings containing only digits (\d) of 2 characters length ( {2} ). For example: 00.html, 53.html, 99.html. The second line catches all strings.

 

sorry yes they are, i think i may have posted in the wrong forum now that i think of it.

im wondering is there a string i could use for letters and numbers.


i have links on my page that just contain 2 numbers.html and then there are links that contain letters and maybe a number at the end.

seems as if i cannot use these 2 strings together in my htaccess file , do you know what string i can use ?

thank you

 

do something like this

^([0-9]{2}|[a-z][a-z0-9])\.html$

 

I think it means you need all pages. why to devide it within 2 categories?

 

the second line *does* catch all letters and numbers
