First here is my config for a VirtualHost

# map id's to actualy filenames
RewriteMap fileName prg:/home/user/getFileName.php

# catch any pdfId as long as it's an integer
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^pdfId\=\d+$

# only rewrite for test.php, but substitute the entire
URL+QUERY_STRING with the file location
RewriteRule ^/test\.php$ /pdf/${fileName:$1}? [R,L]


That does not work. I'm very new to this.

1) I'm assuming that $1 in RewriteRule represents the \d+ in the
RewriteMap. Please correct me if I'm wrong.
2) It seems that the mapping only occurs the first time it's called.
Since I don't know if my assumption above is correct, I tried with a
default value for the mapping.
    /pdf/${fileName:$1|somefile.pdf}?
Thats works the first time I call it by redirecting me to
/pdf/somefile.pdf. But the next time I call that same url, i just get
    /pdf/
Maybe my mistakes in the syntax are causing mapping to die for every
request after the first, but i don't know.

Thanks for any input
