need a help in htaccess - please help

Hi there

I need a help to create a .htaccess file to:


convert such urls:
http://mydomain.com/getpicture/33.jpg


to


http://mydomain.com/getpicture.php?foid=33


auctually I need a .htaccess that upload it to a folder like
'getpicture' or root. and then when it recieve a request to view
'getpicture/XXXX.jpg' it redirect/open this page:
'/getpicture.php?foid=XXXX'.


I am sure it's possible via 'mod_rewrite'. note that it would be enough

if it's possible to convert
http://mydomain.com/getpicture/XXXX.PHP


request to:


http://mydomain.com/getpicture.php?foid=XXXX


also.


It's urgent :(
Thanks
Mehdi
