APACHE Code: [ Select ]
RewriteRule ^([a-z]+)/([1-9]|[1-9]([0-9]+))/([a-z0-9\-\/]+)$ index.php?content=$1&id=$2


Code: [ Select ]
index.php?content=test&id=1  ==>  test/1/some-text/more-text


It works on my PC (Wamp, with Apache 2), but when I upload to the server (Apache 1.3) it does not work when the last part of the URL has a hyphen (-)

Anyone else ever experienced this and how do I fix it?

Issues like this when going from Apache 1.x to Apache 2.x seem to revolve around Apache moving to PERL 5 regular expression syntax in Apache 2.0

The only thing I can think to try without digging through old Apache 1.3 manual pages is to move your escaped hyphen to the end of your range after the escaped forward slash and try it with the hyphen both escaped and unescaped. I seem to remember something about hyphens only being interpreted literally if they're the last character in the range but I'm not sure on that.
Strong with this one, the sudo is.
