Hiyah,
It Depends on your web server. If you're using Apache then you can
do it with a few lines in your config file using mod_rewrite.
Something similar to:
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^/([^/]+)/(.*) /scripts/$2 [E=companyname:$1]
</IfModule>
Which given a url such as http://yoursite.com/mycompany/index.php
should (I've not tested it) call /scripts/index.php with the
environment variable 'companyname' set to 'mycompany'. You then
use this in all your SQL queries.
