Need help with regular expression

Hello,

I am creating a rewriterule for htaccess to make clean urls.

What I need:

http://url.com/variable/ -> index.php?p=variable

That is not a problem. I can do that with this rule:

RewriteRule ^((\w+)?+)/$ index.php?p=$1

Code (markup):

But I need also this kind of urls to work:

http://url.com/variab.le/

So there is a dot inside variable. I have tried this kind of code but without success:

RewriteRule ^((\w+)?(\.)?(\w+)?+)/$ index.php?p=$1

Code (markup):

Could somebody please help me out of this problem.

 

Why don't you try this example, it's far more clear and you can edit it yourself due to your needs.

url.com/variable/ -> index.php?p=variable

RewriteRule ^([a-zA-Z0-9.]+)/$ /index.php?p=$1 [L]

Code (markup):

Here the ([a-zA-Z0-9-]+) means that in the variable $1 there is one or more of the following: either a small letter, a capital letter, a number or ".". Hope that this will help you.
