Letters & Numbers

[graham23s]

Hi Guys,

 

I normally use this code in my .htaccess file:

 

Options +FollowSymLinks 
RewriteEngine On 
RewriteCond %{SCRIPT_FILENAME} !-f 
RewriteRule ^[^/]+-([0-9]+)\.html$ product-information.php?id=$1 [QSA,L]
RewriteCond %{SCRIPT_FILENAME} !-f 
RewriteRule ^([0-9]+)-[^/]+\.html$ category.php?cat-id=$1 [QSA,L]

 

My product id's were just numeric values, but i have added some products with id's that look like: UVWL2BUAL720R which contain random number and letters, i'm not sure the proper syntax to use in the .htaccess file.

 

any help would be appreciated guys.

 

thanks

 

Graham

So the only change is that rather than being only 0-9 you now have letters? All you should have to do is add A-Z to your character range. If only certainly letters are used you could also just add the individual characters.

 

Options +FollowSymLinks 
RewriteEngine On 
RewriteCond %{SCRIPT_FILENAME} !-f 
RewriteRule ^[^/]+-([A-Z0-9]+)\.html$ product-information.php?id=$1 [QSA,L]
RewriteCond %{SCRIPT_FILENAME} !-f 
RewriteRule ^([A-Z0-9]+)-[^/]+\.html$ category.php?cat-id=$1 [QSA,L]
