{
include("config.php");
// connect to the mysql server
$link = mysql_connect($server, $db_user, $db_pass)
or die ("Could not connect to mysql because ".mysql_error());
// select the database
mysql_select_db($database)
or die ("Could not select database because ".mysql_error());
$match = "select id from $table where username = '".$_POST['username']."'
and password = '".$_POST['password']."';";
$qry = mysql_query($match)
or die ("Could not match data because ".mysql_error());
$num_rows = mysql_num_rows($qry);
if ($num_rows <= 0) {
echo "Sorry, there is no username or password with: <strong>".$_POST['username']."</strong><br>";
echo "<a href=login.html>Try again</a>";
exit;
} else {
setcookie("loggedin", "".$_POST['username']."", time()+(3600 * 24));
setcookie("username", "".$_POST['username']."", "TRUE");
echo "Welcome: <strong>".$_POST['username']."</strong><br>";
echo "Continue to the <a href=members.php>members</a> section.";
}
}
?>
Let's work on the basics here.
Set error_reporting(E_ALL);
Use var_dump() to print out $_POST
See what the name of your submit button is.

Also, you might want to use phpinfo() and see if you are running in safe mode or something like that.
