Hi, I've been working on this, and it's working.

But presently, I'm doing this:

RewriteRule ^([^/]+)/([^/]+)/([^/]+)/([^/]+).html$
/dopage3.php?p=$1/$2/$3/$4.html
RewriteRule ^([^/]+)/([^/]+)/([^/]+).html$ /dopage3.php?p=$1/$2/$3.html
RewriteRule ^([^/]+)/([^/]+).html$ /dopage3.php?p=$1/$2.html
RewriteRule ^([^/]+).html$ /dopage3.php?p=$1.html [L]

This looks really stupid to me, but I haven't come on a better syntax.

In other words, it needs the first line to redirect something like:

folder1/folder2/folder3/file.html to
/dopage.php?p= folder1/folder2/folder3/file.html

and then the next line to do

folder1/folder2/file.html to
/dopage.php?p= folder1/folder2/file.html

..etc., depending on how many layers down the html is nested.

Is there a simpler way to write this that only takes one line? I would have
thought something like this (based on my limited understanding), but it
doesn't seem to work exactly the same:

RewriteRule ^([*]).html$ /dopage3.php?p=$1.html [L]
