matching prob

hi guys,

i used this code to validate whether username and password are valid or not before allow the visitors to access members' area,,, but the problem is now it seems like only check the password and not username... even i simply put a username but with a valid password, i am allow to access the section as well.. did i miss something in my code ??? why it doesn't match the username and password ??

my code:
$sql = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM `info` WHERE `username`='$username' AND `password`='$password'") or die(mysql_error());
//$login_check = mysql_num_rows($sql);

if(mysql_num_rows($sql)>0){

please advise..

Print out your query and run it manually to see if you get the same results.

PHP Code:


		
			
<?

if ($_POST['action']=="submitted") {

$username=$_POST['user1'];

$password=$_POST['passwd1'];

$link = mysql_connect(host, root, dbpwd) or die("Could not connect: " . mysql_error());

mysql_select_db(dbasename) or die("could not get database: " . mysql_error() );

$authorsql="select * from authors where user = '$username' "   ;

$result = mysql_query($authorsql) or die ("Bad Query :". mysql_error() );

$row = mysql_fetch_assoc($result);

if (mysql_num_rows($result) > 0 ){

echo "Welcome:" . $row["user"]."<br>";

if (md5($password)== $row["passwd"] ){

echo "Your Password is correct<br>";

echo "going to the member area...";

$true=md5("true");

echo "<meta http-equiv=\"Refresh\" content=\"1;URL=admin.php?s=$true\">";



}

else

{

echo "Error .. Cannot Enter the members area";

}

}

else {

echo "Error .. Cannot Enter the members area ";

}

mysql_free_result($result);

    mysql_close($link);

    }

?>
