.htaccess virtual directory mapping and extracting variables

I want to map requests as follows

    http://www.example.com/my_folder/XYZ/card.jpg

into

    http://www.example.com/script_folder/image.php?parameter=XYZ

my directory structure is as follows.

    .htaccess
    script_folder/
            - image.php

Please note that my_folder is a virtual folder which is non-existant. The folder doesn't have any .htaccess in any of it's parent directories. I'm using mod_rewrite.

so far I have managed to write this code in different ways but no luck

    RewriteBase /

    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d

    RedirectMatch "^/my_folder/(.*)/card.jpg" "image.php?parameter=$1"

Please help me correct my htaccess

You are mixing mod-alias with mod-rewrite. RedirectMatch is part of a diffrent module (mod alias).

Try this :

RedirectMatch ^/my_folder/(.+)/card.jpg$ /script_folder/image.php?perameter=$1

This will redirect /my_folder/xyz/card.jpg to /script_folder/image.php?perameter=xyz changing the address bar from typed url to a new url. If you want the browser to stay on the typed url, you can use the following mod rewrite based solution :

RewriteEngine on

RewriteRule ^my_folder/(.+)/card\.jpg$ /script_folder/image.php?perameter=$1 [L]
