Description:
------------
 worked on an existing website by developing a new content management
 system. I tested it offline n worked perfectly offline n my own server
 hosted by cpanel.

But giving invalid username/password on the website host.

What could be the reason. I have checked the code properly but seems
 not to be bug.



Reproduce code:
---------------
<?php
$connect = mysql_connect("localhost", "user", "tpassword") or
	die ("Cannot connect, check your server connection.");

mysql_select_db ("database_name");
?>


login.php code

<?php
session_start();
$_SESSION['logged'] = 0;
include_once("lang.php");
if (isset($_POST['submit']))
{
require ("myloginquery.php");

if ($_POST['username'] == "$thisusername" && $_POST['password'] == "$thispassword") 
{
$_SESSION['logged'] = 1;
header ("Refresh: 2; URL=" . $_POST['redirect'] . " ");
echo "You are being redirected to your original page request<br>";
echo "(If your browser doesn?t support this, <a href=\"" .$_POST['redirect']. "\">click here</a>)";
}
else
{
?>
<html>
<head>
<title><? echo "$bk_website_name: Login"; ?></title>
<link href="adminstyle.css" type="text/css" rel="stylesheet">

$result = mysql_query($query)
or die(mysql_error());

while ($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($result)) { 
$myusername = $row["user_name"];
$mypassword = $row["user_pswd"];

	if (mysql_num_rows($result) == 1) {

In PHP 4.2.0, the 'register_globals' setting default changed to
'off'. See http://www.php.net/release_4_2_0.php for more info.
We are sorry about the inconvenience, but this change was a necessary
part of our efforts to make PHP scripting more secure and portable.
