Rewrite prob with phpbb mod

[993ti]

This is something i can't figure out.
The url is like dload.php?action=category&cat_id=2 and i want it to be download-category-2.html
The strange thing is that my other rewrites are working ok.
This is in my page_header.php(left the other code out):
urlin

"'(?<!/)portal.php\?page=([0-9]*)'",
"'(?<!/)dload.php\?action=category&amp;cat_id=([0-9]*)'",

The portal rewrite is working.
urlout

"pagina-\\1.html",
"download-category-\\1.html",

Pagina is for the portal and is working.

My htaccess:

RewriteRule ^pagina-([0-9]*).* /portal.php?page=$1 [L,NC]
RewriteRule ^download-category-([0-9]*).* /dload.php?action=category&cat_id=$1 [L,NC]

What am i doing wrong with this type of link?
Thx in advance.

Welcome to WebmasterWorld, 993ti.

Can we assume the first two chunks of code there are regular expression pattern and replacements in a PCRE or something?

What is not working, the Apache rewrites?

Hi and thanks :)
What is a PCRE?
When i change this in htaccess:
RewriteRule ^download-category-([0-9]*).* /dload.php?action=category&cat_id=$1 [L,NC]
to
RewriteRule ^download-category-2.* /dload.php?action=category&cat_id=2 [L,NC]
and access the url direct like download-category-2.html it goes to the page so that's working.
But the link doesn't rewrite itself.
I tried rewriting dload.php to dload.html and the link changes to dload.html?action=category&cat_id=2

This is the complete code in page_header.php (hope it's not too long)

if (!$userdata['session_logged_in'] )
{
ob_start();
function replace_for_mod_rewrite(&$s)
{
$urlin =
array(
"'(?<!/)viewforum.php\?f=([0-9]*)&amp;topicdays=([0-9]*)&amp;start=([0-9]*)'",

$urlout = array(

$s = preg_replace($urlin, $urlout, $s);
return $s;

Maybe it's because the urls are generated by the script?
It generates more url's like:
dload.php?action=file&file_id=2
dload.php?action=download&file_id=2
Maybe it isn't possible to rewrite this?
