mod_rewrite help - anyone?

base can be either:
1. http://www.mydomain.com/ OR
2. http://www.mydomain.com/myfolder/

i need to rewrite:
base/anynumber/anystring to base?var=anynumber

e.g.
http://www.mydomain.com/myfolder/5/hello to http://www.mydomain.com/myfolder/?var=5

or

http://www.mydomain.com/5/hello to http://www.mydomain.com/?var=5

anystring is completely ignored...

anyone?

 

Try this:

Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule /myfolder/(.*)/(hello)/$ /myfolder/?$1=$2
RewriteRule /(.*)/hello/$ /?$1=$2

 

RewriteEngine on

# Rewrite /somedigit(s)/whatever to /?var=somedigit(s)
RewriteRule   ^/([0-9]+)(/.*)?$   /?var=$1    [L]

# Rewite /somedir/somedigit(s)/whatever to /somedir/?var=somedigit(s)
RewriteRule   ^/([^/]+)/([0-9]+)(/.*)?$   /$1/?var=$2    [L]

Code (markup):

Initial directory (optional) will be preserved. Subsequent digit(s) will be added to query string (?var=5). Anything past the digit(s) will be discarded. Dont forget the [L] flag. I hope that helps.
