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="". To update and so forth.

The php.ini file is not being read by PHP for some reason, 
most likely it's in wrong place. See phpinfo() for the path where it's been loaded from.

The "php.ini" path from phpinfo() reads the following "Configuration File (php.ini) Path  C:\WINDOWS\php.ini"
