I’m slowly learning mod_rewrite (keyword is slowly) and am using a tutorial’s line of code but I’m stumped as to what one of the symbols in the line mean.
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^home|^about
What do the ^ characters mean?
The Apache Regular Expression (or regexp for short) is known as a Perl Compatible Regular Expression (PCRE) engine. If you search the web for PCRE tutorial, you will find hundreds of hits
The ^ character anchors the string to the start of the expression so this means beginning with home or about.
