problem to get data from a form (method=get)

[linux newbie]

i am using redhat8 with default php installed, the problem i am facing
is that:

#test.php
<?php
echo $test_value;
?>

localhost/test.php?test_value=abc

whatever values i try, php can't get my values passed by get or direct
url passing. do you have any ideas about that problem? thanks :)

<?php
echo $_GET['test_value'];
?>

Look up register_globals in the manual

yes, i can do it in that way, but why i can't get value directly by that
variable name? because it is working in other redhat apache?

mainly security reasons... this will avoid passing vars directly to the
script overriding script's values...
