Add a trailing slash mod_rewrite - linux

Question

just wondering how I add a trailing slash at the end of my URLs using Mod_Rewrite?
This is my .htaccess file currently:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^([^/]*)$ index.php?pageName=$1
My URL show like so:
wwww.******.com/pageName
I want it to show like so:
wwww.******.com/pageName/
The URL is holding a GET request internally, but I want it to look like a genuine directory.

You can easily add a trailing slash to the URL that a client sees, but you'll have to take into account that trailing slash in requests that you get after you've redirected the browser.
So the redirect could look something like this:
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^(.*[^/])$ /$1/ [L,R=301]
And you'll want it above the:
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^([^/]*)$ index.php?pageName=$1
ruleset, because the redirect needs to happen before the routing to index.php. Note that when the browser gets redirected to a URL that ends with a /, your index.php rule will have the pageName param with a trailing slash in it.

I know this is old, but it's still useful for others that find it.
Jon Lin's answer is correct, I would add this as a comment but I don't have enough reputation.
The OPs comment about removing the trailing slash, since you know it will always have a slash at the end, you could $pageName = substr($pageName, 0, -1);. That's what I'm doing at least.
Hope this is useful.
