to avoid downvoting, I tried everything in this post: regular expression to allow spaces between words
I use RexEx in combination with ZF3 routing.
at the moment my expression looks like follows:
'id' => '[a-zA-Z0-9 ]*',
it accepts alphanumeric without spaces. I will have string combination for example:
34011111X000000ABC is accepted normaly this "number" would look like this:
3401 1111 X 0000 00 is not accepted by RegEx
sometimes there might be a "/" or a "-" inside
I also read some tutorials and tried different combinations, nothing worked. so may be Zend doesn't accept all expressions? Any help appreciated
You can't have spaces in URLs. They will get converted to %20 (or possibly +), neither of which will match your regular expression, so that's why it doesn't work.
I would suggest you rethink your URL scheme if you can - convert any spaces to dashes (or similar) beforehand to make things a bit more readable.
