From a forum that recommended this to me, I changed the query execution to this: $query = "SELECT credits FROM krypto WHERE user=$user AND pass=$pass"; echo "query = ". $query ."\n"; $result = mysql_query($query); echo "result = ". $result ."\n"; So now it outputs this: query = SELECT credits FROM krypto WHERE user=admin AND pass=xxxxxxxx result = Could not run query: Unknown column 'admin' in 'where clause' Quotes are your friend. admin is a string, not a field. Also, it's not bad practice to backtick the database fields themselves.

$query = "SELECT credits FROM krypto WHERE user='$user' AND pass='$pass'"; You'll want to try to read your error messages a little harder in the future, FWIW.
