Dot in a named route

[SaphiLC]

if i have a named route like this

@account.signin

f3-access ignores the route or cant find it

F3 routes should not contain dots. Only alphanumeric characters and underscores.

Just rename your route to account_signin.

i always used dots in named routes with no problems at all (in F3)

Really? But then you were lucky. If you look at the framework code:

• mock() expects alphanumeric aliases (=dots forbidden)
• route() expects alphanumeric aliases when you're calling the same alias twice (e.g POST @account_signin = MyController)
• you can't call $f3->get('ALIASES.account.signin')

The reason why you could define aliases with dots is that the regex used in the route() method is a bit too permissive. IMHO this is a bug. But I'll submit this to the community so we can sort this out.
