I have a URL like this

http://www.freshupnow.com/movie.php?moviename=A+Flat

I want to rewrite this URL using .htaccess code like this

http://www.freshupnow.com/movies/A+Flat

So, I have used the following code for this

RewriteRule ^movies/([A-Za-z0-9-]+)/?$ movie.php?moviename=$1 [NC,L]

Can Some one please verify it, Either it is Right or Wrong?

Solution 1

([A-Za-z0-9-]+) should be ([A-Za-z0-9\+])+ coz you want to capture the whole group 1 or more times and you also want to allow "+" character in your movie names, as in the example "A+Flat". You can validate your regex yourself using this online tool: Regex Validate[^]. There are several others, try Googling for it.
