This is because you're using the $pera variable (which exists only in the global scope) inside a function.

See the PHP manual page on variable scope for more information.

You could fix this by adding global $pera; within your function, although this isn't a particularly elegant approach, as global variables are shunned for reasons too detailed to go into here. As such, it would be better to accept $pera as an argument to your function as follows:

function provera($prom, $pera){
    if (preg_match("/[0-9\,\.\?\>\.<\"\'\:\;\[\]\}\{\/\!\\\@\#\$\%\^\&\*\(\)\-\_\=\+\`[:space:]]/",$prom)){
        echo "Nepravilan unos imena ili prezimina!";
        echo $pera;
        }
}
