Your code requires register globals to be turned on, by default it is not.

You need to either turn on register globals (bad idea) or depending on
how the data was sent to the server use:
$_GET array (for vars in the url)
$_POST array (for posted forms)
$_COOKIE array (for cookie data)
$_REQUEST array (contains data from all three)

In the example above you should have:

<?php
print "Test a=" . $_GET['a'];
?>
