htaccess (no redirection) [REWRITEURL] (folder to index.php)

I just want to get a quick htaccess redirection. ie:

domain.com/subfolderGreen --> domain.com/index.php?folder=subfolderGreen

(note that the subfolderGreen actually exists)

I've been trying but couldn't get to the regex needed.

thanks. a.

ADDED:

Sorry, i want this to work for any subfolder, not just "subfolderGreen" I'm using

RewriteRule ^/([^/]+)/?$ /index.php?folder=$1 [L]

but it's not working. any clues?

I would think your example would cause an endless loop since /index.php matches what you are doing. Try this:

RewriteRule ^([A-Za-z0-9]+)/?$ /index.php?folder=$1 [L]

If you want it to work for all directories that exist, this will probably work as well.

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -d
RewriteRule ^(.+)/?$ /index.php?folder=$1 [L]

RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} ^[A-Z]+\ /(([^/\ ]+/)*)/+([^\ ]*)
RewriteRule ^ /%1%3 [L,R=301]
RewriteRule ^([^/]+)/?$ index.php?folder=$1 [L]

Line #2 will handle the case if someone goes to website.com/mypage///// so it defaults to website.com/mypage/ instead (I think)

RewriteRule ([^/]+)$ index.php?folder=$1

I think that will do the trick.

RewriteRule has some confusing issues when used in .htaccess which requires the addition of a RewriteBase.

What errors/problems are you seeing? If you want to be sure of how it's redirecting adding a [R] can often help with the debugging.

Finally... does the subfolderGreen really exist or not? If it exists that could cause some problems.

I believe it's:

RedirectMatch 301 domain.com/(.*) domain.com/index.php?folder=$1
