Multiple Conditions, how to back reference

aaron,

Regex Back-Reference Availability

Using parentheses in Pattern or in one of the CondPatterns causes back-references to be internally created. These can later be referenced using the strings $N and %N (see below), for creating the Substitution and TestString strings. Figure 2 attempts to show how the back-references are transferred through the process for later expansion.

Figure 2: The back-reference flow through a rule.

I supposed that could be interpreted a couple of different ways but your experience shows only one: Only the last RewriteCond’s atoms are retained for the RewriteRule (and it’s references cannot be "backreferenced by earlier RewriteCond statements). Of course, you can create an environmental variable with a [E=VAR:VAL] flag, too.

Regards.
