This behavior happens because in the php.ini there is an option "register_globals" which is turned off (as it should, as security advises)... Keep in mind that in most host providers, the stated option is turned on...
As a safe and universal way to access vars, don't assume anything regarding the register_globals configuration... Cheers...
