You are going to have to be way more spesific than that. Saying something worked and now it doesn't gives us no indication whatsoever, as it could be one of a hundred things. If your login page displays correctly but nothing happens when you click submit it is most likely a databse issue. Or your code for the submit button isn't there/incorrect. Is the login page table in your database still there ? Did you perhaps not delete the include part at the top of the page ? Do you get any error messages at all ? Are your other database functions on other pages still working ?
??

hello!sorry i was not very specific.My login page is displaying correctly but nothing is happening anymore when i press the submit button and i didn't modify my code at all.
the databse is still linked with the page.I have the include part to the connect.php and the connect.php is well programmed.That is why i don't understand a thing.
I don't know if i have to delete everything and reprogramme from the beginning.I'm just worried about the time and i'm writting other subjects...
Here is my code:

Language: PHP
<?php
include("connect.php");//include database connection
session_start(); //initialize session
if($_SERVER["REQUEST_METHOD"] == "POST")
{
 
// username and password sent from Form//
 
$myusername=addslashes($_POST[';username';]);
$mypassword=addslashes($_POST[';password';]);
 
$sql="SELECT id FROM login WHERE username=';$myusername'; and password=';$mypassword';";
$result=mysql_query($sql);
$row=mysql_fetch_array($result);
$active=$row[';active';];
$count=mysql_num_rows($result);
 
 
 
// If result matched $myusername and $mypassword, table row must be 1 row//
 
if($count==1)
{
session_register("myusername");
$_SESSION[';login_user';]=$myusername;
 
header("location: welcome.php");
}
else
{
$error="Your Login Name or Password is invalid";
}
}
 
?>
<html>
<form action="" method="post">
 
<label>UserName :</label>
 
<input type="text" name="username"/><br />
 
<label>Password :</label>
 
<input type="password" name="password"/><br />
 
<input type="submit" value=" Submit "/><br />
 
</form>

Hope i can get some help spinning smiley sticking its tongue out

You shoudl learn the value of error checking to point out where the error is

Language: PHP
if($_SERVER["REQUEST_METHOD"] == "POST")
{
//do this
}
else {
echo "No submit request";

When you have found the answer, you remove the else.

In any case, I do not see a closing bracket

Thank you Mac! I managed to find where i missed the bracket,now another problem has arise!
As soon as I click on submit,I receive another webpage error sayin that This webpage has a redirect loop
The webpage at http://127.0.0.1/welcome.php has resulted in too many redirects. Clearing your cookies for this site or allowing third-party cookies may fix the problem. If not, it is possibly a server configuration issue and not a problem with your computer.
Here are some suggestions:
Reload this webpage later.
Learn more about this problem.
Error 310 (net::ERR_TOO_MANY_REDIRECTS): There were too many redirects.
I even tried to cleared the cookies on that page but it still stuck and does not work.I am starting to worry because of the time!Please heeeellllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllppppppppppppppppppp!!!!!

This usually happens when your page redirects to another page which then redirects back to the same page which then redirects back to the other page etc. causing an infinite loop. It could be something to do with a page in your internet cache too.

Try, downloading "ccleaner" (google for it - it is a small download) and use it to clean out all your browsers cookies AND cache. If that doesn't work, try disabling your security software temporarily and see if it works. Finally, try using a different browser if all else fails.
