I'm just starting to experiment with mod_rewrite on Apache 1.3.x and 
php 4.3.3. Register_globals is off.

I have the following rules in my .htaccess file (which sits in the 
site's root dir along with paper.php):

RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^/([a-z]+)/([a-z]+)/$ paper.php?paper=$1&section=$2 [L]
The browser gets served up paper.php, but I can't access the 
variables that should be in $1 and $2. They're supposed to be GET 
variables, right?

I've tried accessing them with $_GET["varname"] and 
$_REQUEST["varname"]  (and directly with $varname, even though 
register_globals is off), but I get nothing.

Can someone point out the (probably obvious) problem I'm having?

Try this (I'm no mod_rewrite expert, so no promises):

RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule /^([a-z]+)\/([a-z]+)$/ paper.php?paper=$1&section=$2 [L]
Thanks for the help, but nope, same results. Still no variables are 
passed to the page.

I think there may be an issue with my Apache install. I'm going to 
explore that today.
