this also works:
<INPUT TYPE=HIDDEN NAME="writer" VALUE="<?= $auth_user ?>">
but the way you have it currently written is perfectly OK.
it seems as if the problem is with your variable not being
set, rather than with your PHP code.
try explicitly setting the variable a few lines above
the output of the INPUT field
<? $auth_user = "TESTING"; ?>
blah blah blah
<INPUT TYPE=HIDDEN NAME="writer" VALUE="<?= $auth_user ?>">
PS: is the output happening in a function?
be sure to have the variable "global"-ized somewhere
in the function, or else you'll never see any value
for $auth_user;
