简单的mod_rewrite无法正常工作

Question

Im kinda new using htaccess and mod rewrite

I got every link to work as i want, but i have a problem when im trying to change the link for the forum everything goes kinda to hell..

This is my code

RewriteRule ^thread/([0-9]+)/([A-Za-z0-9]+)$ sidor/forum/showthread.php?threadID=$1&name=$2 [L]

When i try to get thread/1/forum it works perfectly but when i try to get a longer name like this
thread/2/cs-wont-work-for-me

The htaccess gets me a error 404..

And my links i change so (spaces) gets - and åäö gets aao

Anyone knows what the problem is?

Do you need more code? just post a comment and tell me that then i can try to give you a little more.

Answer 1

thread/2/cs-wont-work-for-me is not matched because you only check for alpha numeric characters ( [A-Za-z0-9]+ ). Include dashes and any other characters you want to match to your regex. This should do what you want:

^thread/([0-9]+)/([A-Za-z0-9\-ÅÄÖåäö]+)$

As a sidenote, I can really recommend htaccess tester to debug issues like this.

Answer 2

You can use as

RewriteRule ^thread/([0-9]+)/(.*) sidor/forum/showthread.php?threadID=$1&name=$2 [L]

Does not check the last sequence of string of specific pattern
