    Currently making a dynamic image that people can use to display their names on BF2142 dogtags


    i have the rewrite working to replace index.php?name=NAMEHERE so that it shows the image
    http://www.ultimatestrikeforce.co.uk/dogtags/Durinthiam.png

    however when someone tries to use a non standard like - = + @ it removes all characters before it

    http://www.ultimatestrikeforce.co.uk/dogtags/NCC-1709.png

    is there any way to stop this? tried scouring google and my regular forums but no joy so far

    My .htaccess
    Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ([A-Za-z0-9]+)\.png$ index.php?player=$1 [NC]
    Code (markup):

    You mean ultimatestrikeforce.co.uk/dogtags/NCC-1709.png produces a dogtag image with just "1709" on it? Strange.

    Anyway, I should imagine this fits the bill:
    RewriteRule ([A-Za-z0-9\+@=_-]+)\.png$ index.php?player=$1 [NC]
    Code (markup):
    instead of the rewrite rule you currently have. Try escaping (backslash before) different characters, and/or adding them there.
