Author Skinnable website

Hello, I'm in the process of developping a skinnable website. The
different skins will be stored in different folders that will be
called through URL:

EX:

Default skin = folder "default"

so http://domain.com/index.php will be called by

http://domain.com/index.php?skin=default

A drop down menu will permit the user to select their skin.

PROBLEM #1:
How can I actually set "default" to be a default skin, so
that if I call http://domain.com/index.php
it will go for http://domain.com/index.php?skin=default instead?

PROBLEM #2:
How can I set my drop down menu to do the good action? Here I
currently set my "Par défaut" to the value
"default". What I want to do it take this
"default" value and assign it to a variable so when I
submit the form, a new URL will be formed by something that looks
like this:

newskin = skin
currentpage."?skin=".skin (NOTE:
currentpage is set in the document to be the URL without the
skin)

--------
<form method="POST" action="???">
<p>
<select size="1" name="skin"
tabindex="0">
<option selected
value="default">Par défaut</option>
<option
value="haha">Test</option>
</select><input type="submit"
value="Changer de skin" name="B1"></p>
</form>

--------

Thanks in advance for any help :)

PROBLEM #1:

--------
if (skin =="") {
skin=default
} else {
//is it valid?
}

Well, I didn't think about the "valid" thingy... Thanks
to point it out!
