www.mysite.com/johndoe rewrite

[shawn2page]

I need to get this code to do more:

RewriteRule ^([A-Za-z]+)$ profile.php?ID=$1

It now works so if they type www.mysite.com/johndoe it will take them to johndoe's page on our site. 

But the problem I have is if a member signs up with member name mark2000 the code will not work.  How can i set it up to work with numbers or symbols?

Add 0-9 after A-Za-z in the rewriterule

So its like this:
[code]RewriteRule ^([A-Za-z0-9]+)$ profile.php?ID=$1
[/code]

[shawn2page]

that works great!  but can I get it to work with say www.mysite.com/john_moore or other charaters?

if so what would the code be

[wildteen88]

Add '-_' (without the quotes) after 0-9 in the square brackets

if you get a 500 error after doing that change, then you might need to use '\-_' instead.
