PHP UserLogin Problem

[St4nley]

Hello, i'm following a phpacademy tutorial which i must say is good but that man needs to slow the fuck down. but anyways in the tutorial i have entered the same code

<?php
include 'core/init.php';
 
if (empty($_POST) === false) {
    $username = $_POST['username'];
    $password = $_POST['password'];
   
    if ($username&&$password)
    {
    $connect = mysql_connect("localhost,"root","password") or die ("couldn't connect");
    mysql_select_db("lr") or die ("Couldn't Find Db");
   
    }
    else
        die("please enter a username and a password");
 
    }
   
?>

thats my login.php
i submit my premade username and password that i made in the database, and i get no result just the page reloads, also when i went to localhost/login.php i got this error
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING in C:\xampp\htdocs\lr\login.php on line 10

What am i doing wrong?
Thanks!, Stanley

I'm never heard of this before... maybe try putting the FALSE to TRUE ???
Or go to C:/Xampp/htdocs/lr/login.php and look what is in the line 10?

That's because you're only connecting to your database. You're not actually starting a users session.
