Allow Ampersand in mod_rewrite

I am trying to allow '&' in my mod_rewrite. at the moment i am using

RewriteRule ^([-a-zA-Z0-9_'_-]+)$

I tried adding:

RewriteRule ^([-a-zA-Z0-9_'_-_&]+)$

to allow ampersand, yet i know it is most likey wrong. can anyone direct me in the right direction for the correct regex layout.

You also must escape the hyphen because it indicates range for matching inside square brackets (it doesn't fail because you included it last but in other cases it would have like in OP).

Proper escaping of hyphen: ^([a-zA-Z0-9'&_\-]+)$

this would fail: ^([a-zA-Z0-9'_-&]+)$

this would not: ^([a-zA-Z0-9'_\-&]+)$

(i would have commented but my rep is not high enough)
