Yii 1.1 General Discussion

Hello All,

Please help me to add hyphen to url.

Here is my pre configured url manager:




...

'urlManager' => array(

	'brands/<name:\w+>' => 'brands/view',

),

...

By configuring I’m able to visit url:

http://mysite.com/brands/abc

But not:

http://mysite.com/brands/abc-xyz

Please help me to add hyphen to use above url

Thanks

[font="Courier New"]\w[/font] means an alphanumeric character, and [font="Courier New"]\w+[/font] means one or more of them. But a hyphen is not an alphanumeric character. So my approach is:


'brands/<name:.+>' => 'brands/view',

this even works for name with space ‘brands/something like this’


'brands/<name:.+>' => 'brands/view',

if you want limit to alphanumeric plus ‘-’ or ‘_’, you can do this


'brands/<name:[a-z|0-9|\-|\_]+>' => 'brands/view',

Thanks Root Bear,

This I was looking




'brands/<name:[a-zA-Z\-]>' => 'brands/view',

Will this work naa?
