it has to be:

and not

there is no leading slash.
Do you have any other suggestion?
Are you making this too hard?
if($string = 'test/contact.html')
{ echo 'good'; } else { echo 'bad'; }

Mod rewrite is a powerful tool and you can accomplish what you are doing several different ways. As you can tell most people have been giving attempts to fix your problem without success. This is because it is not entirely clear what you need done.

Although I havn't benched marked it but it prolly is somewhere around .01 difference :) your not the one that needs to be flamed, it seems that everytime a topic of 'regex' is posted there is always 20+ in the thread with 101% of them not doing what the person wants.

RE: [PHP] Re: regex problem
So, what you want is to pretty much use this regex /^(.*)([^\/]+)\/([^\/]+)$/ when matched on this URI, the backreferences will contain \\1 partner/ \\2 name \\3 contact.html \\4 .html partner/name/contact.html I have not tested it, but I just guess it will work ;) Wanna know why? I'll tell you :D - It first looks at the beginning of the string and will go on untill a the next pair of () start (partner/) - That happens there where there is a string containing any character, but not a slash (partner) - as a seperator another slash is added - it starts to match the last part of the url and looks up untill the end. Again a string containing no slashes Hope it does do what I expect it to do .. ;) Wouter -Oorspronkelijk bericht- Van: Merlin [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Verzonden: vrijdag 15 augustus 2003 16:21 Aan: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Onderwerp: [PHP] Re: regex problem Good idea, but does not work either - surprisingly! - There should be a clean way with regex for this task.

If you want the entire string to be tested for digits, you
need to add the
length of the string to the regex pattern:
$length = strlen($data);
preg_match([0-9]{$length}, $data);
Or anchor the pattern to both start and end of the string:
preg_match(^[0-9]+$, $data);
Cheers!
