the code you have posted is not running the sql query statement at all, nor is it fetching and using the data from the query statement, so just exactly how did you expect your code to produce the expected output?

mysql_query

mysql_fetch_assoc

mysql_fetch_row

 

or, better, use the mysqli_ versions as mysql_ functions are deprecated

[Barand]

put in some checks

$sql = "SELECT $dim FROM $tbl_name WHERE username='$myusername' and password='$mypassword'";
$takevalue=mysql_query($sql);

// check for errors in query
if (!$takevalue) {
    echo "$sql<br>" . mysql_error();
}
else {
    // check if any records found
    if (mysql_num_rows($takevalue)==0) {
        echo "No matching records<br>";
    }
    else {
        $array = mysql_fetch_array($takevalue); 
 
        $mid=$array['MID'];
        echo $mid.'<br/>';    
    }
}

i did follow this method of checks for some of my codes.

My codes are much more easy to understand.
