mod_rewrite : allow spaces

Hello.

RewriteRule ^users/([A-Za-z0-9-]+)+$ /file.php?uname=$1

Code (markup):

how can i modify that to allow a space?

I've tried the following (added space) but I get a "Internal Server Error" :

RewriteRule ^users/([A-Za-z0-9- ]+)+$ /file.php?uname=$1

Code (markup):

Should be fairly simple answer. Thank you for your time.

 

Use \s instead of a space.

 

Hi, thanks for the reply!

RewriteRule ^users/([A-Za-z0-9-\s]+)+$ /file.php?uname=$1

Code (markup):

Like that? Internal server error again..

 

Remove the last + sign.... whether or not it's causing the error, it's useless.

+ means "one or more", but the only thing being repeated is the [A-Z...] which already has a + after it.

Let me know if that solves anything.

 

RewriteRule ^users/([A-Za-z0-9-\s]+)$ /file.php?uname=$1

Code (markup):

Thanks, removed that. Still same error though.

 

Try escaping the dash.

RewriteRule ^users/([A-Za-z0-9\-\s]+)$ /file.php?uname=$1

Code (markup):

 

getting closer Now I get a "Not Found 404"... The browser replaces the space with a %20 if that makes a difference.

Thanks for you help!!

 

RewriteRule ^users/(.*)$ /file.php?uname=$1

 

ahh that works. Thanks. Although, I would like to limit the input. I guess until i find a solution for the other way I'll just do a little PHP validation.

 

RewriteRule ^users/([^.]+)$ /file.php?uname=$1 [L]

(.*) is anything. ([^.]+) is more limited, but I'm not sure if it would work with a space.

 

I am trying to change redirect url1 to url2

url1 = http://localhost/ad/profile/2/Vasim Padhiyar/

url2 = http://localhost/ad/public_profile.php?id=2&name=Vasim Padhiyar

i am using following code

RewriteRule ^profile/(.*)/(.*)/$ public_profile.php?id=$1&name=$2 [L]

Code (markup):

The code only works if i type following url

url1 = http://localhost/ad/profile/2/Vasim/

Any idea ?

Thanks in advance.

 

Hi,

Kindly remove the space in between the file name to resolve the issue.
