如何在htaccess RewriteRule正则表达式中允许撇号？

Question

I'm retrieving menus from database and some of them have an apostrophe - ' - in their names. In a part of my code I have to compare the name from the database with the url, but it fails when the url has an apostrophe.

For example:

when I get the name from the db I get it as it is: foo's

but from the url, even if the url is web.com?menu=foo's when I do this:

$menu = urldecode($_GET['menu']);

I get only foo

this is my htaccess Rewrite

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -d [OR]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -f
RewriteRule ^ - [L]

RewriteRule ^explore/([0-9a-zA-Z\ ]+) renderpage.php?menu=$1 [L]

I've tried all the possible combination in my php, it's not that, it is this RewriteRule that doesn't allow apostrophe, I've also tried ([0-9a-zA-Z\ ']+) in my regex and ([0-9a-zA-Z\ \']+) but to no avail.

Answer 1

I think the issue is in the position of apostrophe Try this:

([0-9a-zA-Z'\]+)

or

([0-9a-zA-Z']+)
