The URI you submitted has disallowed characters: $1

Hi ,

I know it has been discussed here hundreds times but honestly I haven't found the solution here.

The problem basically is - my route with variables gives me the

"The URI you submitted has disallowed characters: $1" error.

I tried all htaccess configurations that I found on this forum.
In the route i tried " and I tried ' - nothing works.

I guess this is somehting basic and should work. Or is the routeing so complex that only the most advanced users can use it.

my route:

$route['(:any)/(:any)'] = "gifts/users_gifts_public/$1/$2";

my htaccess:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond $1 !^(index\.php|images|ads|robots\.txt)
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /index.php/$1 [L]
