#26958 [NEW]: html form value="<?echo "$var_name";>" undefine variable $var_name

From: rrubio at wideline dot com dot au Operating system: XP Professional PHP version: 4.3.4 PHP Bug Type: IIS related Bug description: html form value="<?echo "$var_name";>" undefine variable $var_name Description: ------------ I have an HTML form, where i would like to <? echo "$varname"; ?> to the actual input fields "value=" once submitted. On load of form $varname = "". I receive the following message "Notice Undefined Variable varname". I am using IIS 5.1 and have changed "register_globals = On". NOTE: The same form works perfectly under PHP 4.1.5, win 2000 professional/PWS. Reproduce code: --------------- <?php if($submit == "find"){ function_name(); } ?> <html> <body> <form="formname" method="get" action="file.php"> <input type="text" name="fname" value="<? echo "$fname"; ?> "> </form> </body> </html> Expected result: ---------------- Once the form is submitted to "find" the $varname would be populated with a value, to then display on the fields actual value="".
