Hi Priya,
I think the problem is in the first line of php. means u start the session() before. do one think, just cut that protion of session start() from the begining and paste to else part just before u assign the $SESSION['username'] = $username; ok i think it will work.
[PHP]<?php
//session_start(); remove this line from here

//Connect to database

mysql_connect ( "localhost", "root", "sunkalpid")or die("Could not connect: ".mysql_error());
mysql_select_db("emp") or die(mysql_error());

$username = $_POST['username'];
$password = md5($_POST['password']);

$query = "SELECT * FROM users WHERE username=’$username’ and password=’$password’ ";

$result = mysql_query($query);

if (mysql_num_rows($result) != 1)
{
$error = "Bad Login";
include "login.html";

} else {
session_start();
$_SESSION['username'] = "$username";
include "registerdisplay.html";
}

?>[/PHP]

ok try it and reply ..

After placing tht session_start();
in else part i got this error

Warning: mysql_num_rows(): supplied argument is not a valid MySQL result resource in C:\xampp\htdocs\sunkalpid\login.php on line 15

This means that your sql query means line no 13
[PHP]$query = "SELECT * FROM users WHERE username=’$username’ and password=’$password’ "; [/PHP]
be sure that the username and password match the value in database. The error is because, the query dont get the result, thats why its giving this error. ok to check the error do one thing,
[PHP]
/// more code
$query = "SELECT * FROM users WHERE username=’$username’ and password=’$password’ ";
$result = mysql_query($query);
$row = mysql_fetch_array($result) or die(mysql_error());
echo $row['username']; // its just cheking the query giving the result or not ok ;
.. more code to write..
[/PHP]

when the query get the result, the error will automtically rectified. ok

Hi priyakollu

The session_start() must be the the 1st statement of the page.

Good day

Adding to the above post - move the session start to the very begging of that html file i.e. before the <html> before the <!DOCTYPE, before everything!

Hi Priya.

Do not double post your questions. I have merged your two identical threads into this one thread.
Please read the Posting Guidelines before posting!

Also, please use [code] tags when posting your code examples. (See How to ask a question)

[code=php] ...PHP code goes here... [/code]

Thank you.

P.S. I edited out quotes from a couple of replies, where the poster quoted the entire first post. I hope you don't mind. It was making the thread unnecessarily long.

Hi Priya
Please check, If you have mentioned singles quotes ( ' ) arround $username and $password in line 18, i.e. where you are declaring the $query.

Yes, If The fields are numeric, then no need to do that.

Have a gooooooood day.
