title: Where to add the period for htaccess rewrite
body: <p>I have the following in my htaccess:</p>
  
  <pre><code>RewriteRule ^([a-zA-Z0-9\s_-]+)$ profile.php?uid=$1
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>The problem is that a period will break the page, for example: www.mydomain.com/john.smith</p>
  
  <p>How can I allow the period?</p>
  
  <p>Thanks</p>
