login script not working! it works on my other site.....?

[Alexhoward]

Hi guy,

 

I've got this login script that works fine on my other site,

 

but keeps saying the password is incorrect on my new one...?

 

can anyone see where i'm going wrong?

 

<?php
ob_start();
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()); 

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

$match = "select password 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 ($num_rows <= 0) { 
echo "Sorry, that password is incorrect.<br>"; 
echo "<a href=index.php>Try again</a>"; 
echo "$num_rows";
exit; 
} else { 

$username = $_POST['username'];
setcookie("loggedin", "true");
setcookie("theideasden", "$username");
echo "You are now logged in!<br>"; 
echo "Continue to the <a href=members.php>members</a> section."; 
}
ob_end_flush();
?>

 

Also if i jig it to work, the setcookie part produces errors

 

namely "can't set header, headers already set by....!"

 

i don't understand it works fine on the other site...?

 

Thanks in advance
