mod_rewrite Regex Issue

Question

I have this rewrite rule:

RewriteRule ^/([0-9])+$ http://<domain>/$1/ [L]

And when I got to the site and type:

http://<domain>/596

I am expecting it to redirect me to

http://<domain>/596/

However, it is redirecting me to:

http://<domain>/6/

What am I doing wrong here?

Thanks! :-) Eric

The + needs to go inside the brackets.

RewriteRule ^/([0-9]+)$ http://<domain>/$1/ [L]

Otherwise what you are saying is I want one or more matches for a digit, rather than I want a single match with 1 or more digits.

Yikes. I should have seen that! :( Thanks for the catch.

@Eric Quite alright, I'm sure we've all been there plenty of times.
