i have written a code for checking username and password, and then directing to a specific profile page w.r.t the username entered..

 

the password checking works fine

 

but it directs the page to only one profile irrespective of the username entered..

 

below is my code

 

<?php

//$mysql_host = "mysql14.000webhost.com";
//$mysql_database = "a3907930_mehreen";
//$mysql_user = "a3907930_root";
//$mysql_password = "aaaAAA111";
$host="mysql14.000webhost.com"; // Host name 
$username="a3907930_root"; // Mysql username 
$password="aaaAAA111"; // Mysql password 
$db_name="a3907930_mehreen"; // Database name 
$tbl_name="members"; // Table name

// Connect to server and select databse.
mysql_connect($host, $username, $password)or die("cannot connect"); 
mysql_select_db($db_name)or die("cannot select DB");

// username and password sent from form 
$myusername=$_POST['myusername']; 
$mypassword=$_POST['mypassword'];
$sql="SELECT * FROM $tbl_name WHERE username='$myusername' and password='$mypassword'";
$result=mysql_query($sql);
// Mysql_num_row is counting table row
$count=mysql_num_rows($result);
// If result matched $myusername and $mypassword, table row must be 1 row


if($count==1){
// Register $myusername, $mypassword and redirect to file "login_success.php"
  session_register("myusername");
  session_register("mypassword");
  
if ($myusername='mehreen')
header ("location:mehreen_profile.php");

elseif ($myusername='mariam')
header ("location:mariam_profile.php");

else
header ("location:login_page.html");
}

else {
header("location:invalidpassword.html");
}

My first suggestion is to always use {} brackets on all if/elseif/else statements. Also try adding dot slash "./" to all of the location header redirects, and change the lowercase l in location to a capital L.

 

ie;

header ("Location: ./login_page.html");

 

Lastly, your if/elseif statements have one = sign... when comparing (as you are in an if/elseif statement) it must be two equal signs. With one equal sign you're declaring a variable, and thus the first if statement will always be true, because you're declaring it to be true right in the statement.
