Understanding mod_rewrite

["Jared Carlson" <user=186@nabble.blu.org>]

 I could use a little help... 

Trying to help out with a regex in Apache.  I have a directory, and in that directory I have an .htaccess file: 

# my .htaccess file 
Options All 

RewriteEngine On 
RewriteBase /wiki/ 
RewriteRule ^([^/<>][a-zA-Z0-9_,;:\-]+)$    index.php?title=$1 

So, this was working in that someone who was accessing 
/wiki/Title_Of_Entry 

was actually seeing 
/wiki/index.php?title=Title_Of_Entry 

which was looking up the right article from a database... 

But then someone put an article with a period in the title, and that screwed my rule.  I tried 
changing my rule to 

RewriteRule ^([^/<>][a-zA-Z0-9\._,;:\-]+)$    index.php?title=$1 

But this doesn't redirect correctly... I keep getting the title being set as index.php, and after the holidays, I'm 
not thinking too clearly.  Anyone help me out here? 

Thanks, and a belated Merry Christmas to everyone! 

- Jared
