Yes it is important because both of them contain value. But the main problem is that local variable can only be used in a function you can't acces it value from outside the function but in the case of global variable you can do so.

Short answer, Global is accessible everywhere, if the file is actually included in your script. Local variables are accessible within their parents scope, e.g. A variable defined inside a function is only accessible within the function. If everything was global it would be very easy to override important variables, or simply collide with others. Brgds
