using periods in rewritten urls gives 404

[kevisazombie]

Hi all,

 

I have inherited a project that has a .htaccess file that rewrites all URLS to the index.php file in a query string.

 

I have run in to a problem where using periods in the URLs will throw a 404.

 

I need this functionality for URLs like this:

http://www.mysite.com/admin/search/email/[email protected]

or:

http://www.mysite.com/product/phpfreaks.com_Logo

 

 

I am kind of green on .htaccess and Regex but I have tried some edits like dropping the \. from capturing groups to no avail.

 

I hope this is an easy fix thanks for any help!
