htaccess规则不接受点

Question

I'm having a problem with my htaccess rules. i have this rule in my htaccess file:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^u/([a-z-0-9-_]+)$ user.php?id=$1

and its work just fine but when i write username with dot (.) its does not work and the browser say the page not found i looked up the internet and nothing helped me so can anyone here help ?

Answer 1

The [a-z-0-9-_] pattern only matches lowercase ASCII letters, - and _. If you replace it with a negated character class [^/] it will match any char but /.

Use

RewriteRule ^u/([^/]+)$ user.php?id=$1
