suggestion needed

Hello,

Is there a way to have a rewrite done for two files for the same path?
like this:

RewriteRule ^area/(.*) indexMap1.php?area=$1 [L,QSA]
RewriteRule ^area/(.*) indexMapContents1.php?area=$1 [L,QSA]

Your probably thinking "why would you wanna do that?"

The reason why I want to do this is because indexMap1.php is accessed
with a subdomain as following: http://something.mywebsite.com ....
something goes into some var already before these 2 rewrite rules this
way:

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www\.)?([^.]+)\.mywebsite\.com
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\.mywebsite\.com
RewriteRule ^$ indexMap1.php?location=%2 [L,QSA]

now, inside my indexMap1.php file I'm using indexMapContents1.php as a
javascript like this:

echo "<script type=\"text/javascript\" src=\"/indexMapContents1.php
\"></script>";

and then inside that file I tell it that its actually a JS file and
not a php...

so I need the rewrite to catch http://something.mywebsite.com/area/"this_part_here"
from the indexMapContents1.php file but I also need that same part
used in the indexMap1.php file...

Any suggestions on how I could do this would really help. I've already
spent so much time on this and the only alternative I found was to
create a cookie in indexMap1.php and get it back in
indexMapContents1.php

Thanks

http://something.mywebsite.com/area/region_name
-->
indexMap1.php?location=region_name

inside indexMap?location=region_name
-------8<-----
$location = filtered($_GET['location']);
#where filtered is a function which makes sure that the location is
checked against allowed values, and that it does not contain html, and
that it is urlencoded.
echo '<script
type="text/javascript"
src="/indexMapContents1.php?area='.$location.'">
</script>';
--------------------------

this would produce markup like so
<script type="text/javascript" src="/indexMapContents1.php?
area=region_name"></script>

inside indexMapContents1.php
---------------8<--------------
$location = filtered($_GET['location']);
//use $location as normal
--------------------------------

sorry for the type it should have been
src="/indexMapContents1.php?location='.$location.'">
of course, but I got confused!

Yea you almost got it right the first time... I just needed this part:
src="/indexMapContents1.php?area=whatever"... I didn't know I could do
that. Thanks again
