help with .htaccess needed

I have a .htaccess file with several lines in the style :

RewriteRule ^three_star_hotels "http://www.mysite.com/scripts/hotel_search.php?h_rating=3&submit=Submit&title=Three Star Hotels" [L]

Code (markup):

So for example when someone types in www.mysite.com/three_star_hotels they go to that page.

Now since the database is growing, and there are for example 20 three star hotels, I need to split them into two pages. The resulting PHP query addess for page 2 is:

http://www.mysite.com/scripts/hotel_search.php?h_rating=3&submit=Submit&title=Three Star Hotels Page 2&resultpageno=2

Code (markup):

Now I need to implement this into htaccess so that going to www.mysite.com/three_star_hotels/page2 will take the user to that page.

There are of course several categories, so what I need is a general line of code that will take the previous rule into account and just add &resultpageno=x to the page query.

Does anyone know how to do this?

 

Check the sticky thread, and get rid of the spaces in the URLs. Like make them _ or _.

 

The spaces are not a problem, they're working fine at the moment and are easily fixeded when I get a chance - why fix it when it's not broken .

My immediate concern is this pagination.

 

Some browsers will give the visitor a 404 error page if there's space in the URL.

 

RewriteRule three_star_hotels/page(.*) hotel_search.php?h_rating=3&submit=Submit&title=Three Star Hotels Page $1&resultpageno=$1

Code (markup):

I think that should work.
