no, u just need to get the variable $test from the post befor you can call it,
if you call $test without letting php know that $test is the same as the POST test it doesnt know what you are talking about. so in page 1 you have a form with textfields etc. the method is post in page 2 you get the test var from the post by setting $test = $_POST['test']; then you can call $test, echo $test for example.
