- inside a set has a special meaning so you have to escape it:
RewriteRule ^topics/([a-zA-Z\-]+)
> 2. RewriteRule ^topics/([a-zA-Z+]-)
> 3. RewriteRule ^topics/([a-zA-Z-]-)
The + at the end means 'one or more times the previous', so changing it
into a - doesn't work.

Sorry, I didn't see your post until just now - and I'm
not even sure if I can answer your question! This is
still kind of confusing for me, and my fix may not
have been a complete fix. But I'll try.
First, go to www.geozoo.org/topics. The links in the
gray area near the top of the page are static links
that I inserted manually. There are no PHP functions
or mod_rewrite rules associated with them.
But just below that on the left side of the page is
the linked word Topics. Click it, then choose Home,
then click Biomes, then Tundra, then Tundra Mammals,
and you'll wind up at this link:
http://www.geozoo.org/topics/Tundra+Mammals
Notice that the bread crumb links at the top of the
page displays this:
GeoZoo > Topics > Home > Biomes > Tundra >
Tundra Mammals
...as it should. But the URL features a +, which I
want to get rid of:
http://www.geozoo.org/topics/Tundra+Mammals
On my LOCAL site, I'm now using this mod_rewrite rule:
RewriteRule ^topics/([-a-zA-Z]+)/?$
topics/index.php?topic=$1 [L]
That changes the URL to this:
http://geozoo/topics/Tundra-Mammals
However, it kills my bread crumbs script, which
displays this:
GeoZoo > Tundra-Mammals
...instead of:
GeoZoo > Topics > Home > Biomes > Tundra > Tundra
Mammals
It works fine as long as every database value (or link
segment) consists of just one word. For example, the
URL http://geozoo/topics/tundra is complemented with
this link string:
GeoZoo > Topics > Home > Biomes > Tundra
I posted that page's HTML - that is, for my LOCAL page
- at the end of this post, though it may be a lot to
wade through. But here's a key line:
// If you replace + with - in .htaccess, insert this
line:
$Display = str_replace('+', '-', $Display);
I'm not working on www.geozoo.org/stacks/, which
presents another problem. So far, all my database
table cells contain just one word, but when linking to
species, I want to combine words from two FIELDS.
After all, species names consist of a genus name + a
species name, as in Canis lupus or Homo sapiens.
So instead of "Tundra Mammals" (derived from one
cell), I now have "Canis lupus" (derived from two
cells). Besides changing the linking physically - to
Canis_lupus, for example - I have to somehow let the
database know that "Canis_lupus" means fetch
information from the row where the field Name is lupus
AND the field Parent is Canis.
As you can see, my notes are probably too confusing to
benefit anyone on this list. And I haven't even
mentioned my other plot: Offering visitors a PHP
function that lets them toggle between lists of
scientific names and common names. :)

It is definitely correct this way, but I don't get why is it not
correct at the original form. As I remember, in perl regular expressions
- only has a special meaning inside [] if it is not in the first or
the last position. So [A-Z-] should be equivalent of [A-Z\-],
while [A-Z] not equivalent of [A\-Z].

Thanks. I changed it to this:
RewriteRule ^topics/([a-zA-Z\-]+)/?$
topics/index.php?topic=$1 [L]
But when I type in this URL:
http://geozoo/topics/Temperate-Conifer-Forests
It still doesn't work. Does that mean I have to change
something in my PHP, or did I make a mistake in my
rewrite rule?
Thanks.
