How do I make an authentication not case sensitive?

okay so I've got this login, but it requires me to put my username in exactly as it is in the database. This gets kind of tedious. How could I make it so that it will accept both upper and lower case?

Here's the code if it helps...

[code]if($mode == 'login') {
//login
$username = $_POST['username'];
$password = md5($_POST['password']);

$query = 'SELECT name, password FROM users WHERE name = "'.$username.'"';
$result = mysql_query($query);
$row = @mysql_fetch_array($result, MYSQL_ASSOC);

if($username == $row['name'] && $password == $row['password']) {
$_SESSION['logged_in'] = $row['name'];
header('location: index.php');
} else {
$content = 'Invalid Login credentials';
}
mysql_free_result($result);[/code]
