cell-phone HTML form using post method

Well, after a looong day experimenting and learning more than I wanted
about not only WML but also PHP, here's what I've uncovered about
submitting and receiving POST data from a FORM webpage with irev, WML
and PHP.

In essence...

What doesn't work:
     irev code --> irev code
     WML code  --> irev code

What works oddly:
    WML code -->  PHP code

What does work:
    irev code --> PHP code

[ Explanation:
For example, " irev code --> irev code" means (1) the cellphone
submits POST data using a <?rev FORM, and (2) a <?rev script receives
the $POST array and then simply returns keys/values to the cellphone.]


The significant question for me now from all this experimenting is:

   Why is it that PHP but not rev can "see" the $POST array?


With this question in mind, an answer I'm contemplating is to rely on
PHP to receive the $POST and forward it to a rev cgi script. The
archives show one hopeful thread -- "More on php and Rev cgi", started
by Jacqueline Landman Gay -- but it doesn't go into enough detail.

Could someone advise about this?

Or about why PHP bur not rev can see $POST?

Kind of at my wit's end...

Thanks
