Dollar sign in route? - El Forum - 07-11-2009

Hello
Code:
$route['posts/([\-\^\*a-zA-Z0-9\|=<>\$]+)'] = "posts/index/$1";I'm getting a 404 error with this route - and I'm positive I'm not triggering it myself in my controller or anything when I try to load http://localhost/posts/user$=sheldonnbbaker.
Are dollar signs kicked out of the routing class somehow?

yes, they aren't valid URL characters. Try url_encode or similar to change it to its correct URL representation
