custom rewrite rule conflict

I'm getting the following errors, when opening a certain page

[10-Sep-2005 18:48:21] PHP Warning: main(full-disclosure/76181-full-disclosure-multilinks-com-security-sendmessage.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in <fullpath>/vbseo.php on line 795
[10-Sep-2005 18:48:21] PHP Warning: main(full-disclosure/76181-full-disclosure-multilinks-com-security-sendmessage.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in <fullpath>/vbseo.php on line 795
[10-Sep-2005 18:48:21] PHP Fatal error: main(): Failed opening required 'full-disclosure/76181-full-disclosure-multilinks-com-security-sendmessage.php' (include_path='.:/usr/lib/php') in <fullpath>/vbseo.php on line 795

I also found out what caused this, it's this rule:
'sendmessage\.php' => 'contact.html'

What it is attempting to do in the following url, it rewrites the contact.html bit, to be sendmessage.php: full-disclosure/76181-full-disclosure-multilinks-com-security-contact.html

I think the contact.html bit should be matched starting from / instead of at the end of the url? Or perhaps both..

Hi,

from the RC8 announcement:

(1) Added start (^) and end ($) regex symbols to the 'Custom Rewrite Rules' feature to correct issues with rewrite rules matching substrings of forum URLs that should not be affected.

So, you can change your custom rewrite rule to:
'^sendmessage\.php$' => 'contact.html'

to have it rewritten when it match *exactly* only.

Yup works perfectly now .
Thinking about it, this wasn't really a bug, more something to keep in mind when writing custom rules.

The last part should read "...vBSEO 2.0 Final.*/"
