<?php
include('config.php');

if($_SERVER['REQUEST_METHOD'] =='POST') {
$username = mysql_real_escape_string($_POST['username']);
$password = mysql_real_escape_string(md5($_POST['password']));

$query = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM users WHERE username='$username' AND password='$password'");
$query_rows = mysql_num_rows($query);

if($query_rows > 0) {
echo("Succesfull login!");

session_start();
$_SESSION['login'] ="1";
}

Somewhere near the top of your script, you need to do this:
var_dump($_POST);

That will show you what is being sent.

it seems like its not sending the password.

array
'username' => string 'Max' (length=3)

Well there you go then. The password isn't being sent for some reason. Do you type text into it?

Password: <input type="password" nanme="password" /><br />

There you go, you've spelt 'name' incorrectly.

It's 'name' NOT 'nanme' :thumbsup:
