Need to change your quotes. Your current quotes are pushing different ASCII.

 

<?php

//Database Information
$dbhost = "localhost";
$dbname = "//";
$dbuser = "//";
$dbpass = "//";
//Connect to database
mysql_connect ( $dbhost, $dbuser, $dbpass)or die("Could not connect: ".mysql_error());
mysql_select_db($dbname) or die(mysql_error());
session_start();
$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 {
    $_SESSION['username'] = "$username";
    include "memberspage.php";
}

?>

You do not say on which line you are getting the error, but this code should work

 

<?php
//Database Information
$dbhost = "localhost";
$dbname = "//";
$dbuser = "//";
$dbpass = "//";
//Connect to database
mysql_connect ( $dbhost, $dbuser, $dbpass)or die("Could not connect: ".mysql_error());
mysql_select_db($dbname) or die(mysql_error());
session_start();
$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['username'] = $username;
include "memberspage.php";
}
?>

there are diffrent type of single or doubble quotes. ‘password’ in this  ‘ should be ' and “select *  should be "select *

 

It happens when you get or put code on wordpress blog;)

You do not say on which line you are getting the error, but this code should work

 

 

still need to change

$username = $_POST[‘username’];
$password = md5($_POST[‘password’]);

to

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

I need glasses - did not see those 'smart' quotes in there. Of course should be

 

$username = $_POST['username'];

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

lol 

 

so this is the final code of you

<?php
//Database Information
$dbhost = "localhost";
$dbname = "//";
$dbuser = "//";
$dbpass = "//";
//Connect to database
mysql_connect ( $dbhost, $dbuser, $dbpass)or die("Could not connect: ".mysql_error());
mysql_select_db($dbname) or die(mysql_error());
session_start();
$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['username'] = $username;



include "memberspage.php";
}
?>
