Post variables not showing

[edynas]

I have made a new folder on a site which runs on wordpress. So my site structure is

wp-admin
wp-content
wp-includes
my_map
shop

in the main directory i changed the htaccess to

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /news/
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_METHOD} !^post$
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/(my_map¦shop¦my_map/*/*¦my_map/*)$
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /news/index.php [L]
</IfModule>

in my_map there are several files. I have fi a layout.php which has a form to get the layout. it uses an include to get the header, footer and content. In the content there is the html form with the folowing line

<FORM action="<?php echo $_SERVER['PHP_SELF']; ?>" method="post">

at the top of the file i let php look for an action which is a hidden field in the form.
But it doesn't work. also if i access the page using this
[mysite.com...] etc etc it doesn't work

The strange part....i have also a form in index.php using the same methodolgy and that...is working. It's driving me up the wall :)

Anyone has any ideas..other then rewrite all my code to have it included in index.php

Thanks,
Edwin

The method received in HTTP request headers by your server will be all uppercase, as required by the HTTP protocol:

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_METHOD} !^POST$

Found the problem and it was indeed related to this. I never call my variables again using POST and untill now I never had to but I found that using it in this envirement i needed to do

$action = $_POST['action'];

While i was trying to access $action without that rule...which like i said untill now i always was able too.
