How do I include hyphens in a htaccess regex?

June 15th, 2010, 10:50 am

I am currently rewriting URLs with a htaccess file to create cleaner URLs. Here is my htaccess file:

Code: [ Select ]

Options +FollowSymlinks
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^([a-zA-Z0-9]+)/$ /page.php?s=$1
RewriteRule ^([a-zA-Z0-9]+)$ /page.php?s=$1

With this regex I am able to have URLs like:

Code: [ Select ]

http://mysite.com/foobar

But I also want URLs like:

Code: [ Select ]

http://mysite.com/foo-bar

How do I edit the regex to include a hyphen when needed?

For your pattern just add a hyphen,

Code: [ Select ]

[a-zA-Z0-9-]

#define NULL (::rand() % 2)
