HiI have a site where I'd like to convert the first subfolder into a parameter (from a set list of subfolders), sohttp://localhost/mysite/folder1/dosomething.phpis displayed as shown above, but to PHP it looks like:... localhost/mysite/dosomething.php?organisation=folder1I only need to do this on certain folders (i.e. not ... localhost/mysite/admin/ for example) and I need to take into account the fact that there may or may not already be parameters appended to the URLI'm creating a site for multiple organisations to use, and based on the organisation, colours etc in the site will need to be different, but each organisation will be using the same pages, and the client wants the organisation shortcode in the URL. I thought the best way to do this would be with mod_rewrite.I've tried:\[code\]rewriterule ^folder1/(.*) $1&organisation=folder1 [NC]\[/code\]but this doesnt work or handle the fact there might already be parameters attached to the URL. Can anyone suggest a way to do this?Kind regards and many thanksBased on your feedback:Hmm I can't get this to work. In .htaccess I haveOptions +FollowSymLinksRewriteEngine onRewriteRule ^folder1/(.*) $1&organisation=folder1 [NC,QSA]If I browse ... server/sitename/folder1/destination.php I get a page not found error, and the htaccess debug log says
