htaccess, cannot compile regular expression?

Hello,

I am getting a 500 Internal Server Error due to this .htaccess file, or so my error log says.

[Thu Oct 18 14:32:56 2007] [alert] [client #*$!] directory/.htaccess: RewriteRule: cannot compile regular expression '^system/([a-z0-9\\-]+)$?'

I am fairly new to htaccess, what am I doing wrong? Htaccess file is here:


#php_flag magic_quotes_gpc Off
AddType application/x-httpd-php .phpOptions -MultiViews -indexes
ErrorDocument 404 /404.php
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^system/([a-z0-9\-]+)$? system.php?system=$1 [QSA]
RewriteRule ^list/([a-z0-9\-]+)/([a-z0-9\-]+)$? system.php?system=$1&list=$2 [QSA]RewriteRule ^game/([a-z0-9\-]+)$? game.php?game=$1 [QSA]
RewriteRule ^review/([a-z0-9\-]+)$? review.php?review=$1 [QSA]

Thank you!

try switching the dollar signs and question marks.

Some dollar signs don't need to be touched.

Change each $? to be ?$ only.

Well, I think it fixed the error on one line, but it still isn't working...

Anyone have any ideas?

Errr. You still have $? in it.

Ack, I'm sorry, didn't catch that one. Thanks for the help, it works now.

Been there. Done that.

Real easy to miss a simple typo for hours and hours and hours...
