Mod rewrite, only letters, numbers and spaces need to be allowed

Question

Since I need to allow my users to search for lines with spaces, I need to change this rewrite rule (lighttpd engine).

"^/(results)/(query)/([0-9a-zA-Z_]+)$" => "index.php?action=results&query=$3",

Allow only letters, numbers and spaces (I think it only needs the data it needs to find some data from MySQL).

Thanks in advance.

Regular expression space \s

"^/(results)/(query)/([0-9a-zA-Z_\s]+)$" => "index.php?action=results&query=$3"

or

"^/(results)/(query)/([\w\d\s_]+)$" => "index.php?action=results&query=$3"

If a character is required -

, it must be the first in the range

"^/(results)/(query)/([-0-9a-zA-Z_\s]+)$" => "index.php?action=results&query=$3"

See the lighttpd wiki basics and the complete regex reference .
