POMatch "full stop" in mod rewrite
text
Body
copied!<p>At the moment I am just matching numbers, letters, dashes and underscores in my .htaccess file:</p> <pre><code>RewriteRule ^([A-Za-z0-9-_]+)/?$ index.php?folder=$1 </code></pre> <p>I also want to match full stops in the string. I don't want to use:</p> <pre><code>(.*) </code></pre> <p>I have tried:</p> <pre><code>([.A-Za-z0-9-_]+) ([\.A-Za-z0-9-_]+) ([\\.A-Za-z0-9-_]+) ([A-Za-z0-9-_\.]+) </code></pre> <p>None of which seem to work.... how can I escape the full stop so it matches a full stop!</p> <p>---------- Additional information ----------------</p> <p>As an example:</p> <p>mydomain.com/groups/green/ should go to index.php?folder=green</p> <p>In addition I am also re-writing subdomains over the top of this (I think this is causing the complication)...</p> <p>anotherdomain.com should map to index.php?folder=anotherdomain.com</p> <p>I have succesfully re-written the subdomain with the following rule:</p> <pre><code># external group domain name RewriteCond %{ENV:Rewrite-Done} !^Yes$ ## exclude requests from myhost.com RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\.myhost\.com ## allowed list of domain masking domains RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(anotherdomain.com|extra.domain.com|external.otherdomain.com) RewriteRule (.*) /groups/%1/$1 </code></pre> <p>I think this is where the complication lies.</p> <p>---------------- Solution ----------------------</p> <p>Despite not finding a solution to the exact problem above, I have worked around it by changing the first re-direct (which maps the external domains) from:</p> <pre><code> RewriteRule (.*) /groups/%1/$1 </code></pre> <p>to:</p> <pre><code>RewriteRule (.*) /groups/external/$1&external_domain=%1 </code></pre> <p>The second re-write (on the folder) can then interpret the "external domain" variable instead of the folder.</p>
