    Anyone familiar with .htaccess and mod rewrite? I'm trying to configure it on a database driven PHP site, and it screws up on any page that has a special character in the title

    Any help appreciated. Oh, and if it requires real work on your part, I'll pay for your time.

    If you already have the .htaccess file, post it so we have a better idea of what you're trying to accomplish.

    Usually it's as simple as tweaking the regex to better match the page requests.

$title = preg_replace(array('/[^\w-\.]/', '/-{2,}/'), '-', $title);
    PHP:
    EDIT:

    Or maybe even:
    
$title = strtr(html_entity_decode(strtolower($title)), 'áàäéèíìóòöúùüñâê', 'aaaeeiiooouuunae');
