You have in your php.ini file register_globals = off
That's why you can use $_GET['val'] , $_POST['val'] but not $val

All user_defined variables are visible only within the scope
they are defined in.
To use them within another scope use the 'global' directive:
Ex:
$my_var = "blabala";
function getIt()
{
echo $my_var; // this will print nothing
// because $my_var is invisible
// here
}
To make the function works:
function getIt()
{
global $my_var; // import $my_var in this scope
echo $my_var; // this will print 'blabala'
}
HTH.
