I am trying to learn how to make a basic login system using PHP and MySQL. I am following a tutorial (http://ift.tt/18UCkof), but it isn't working. I tested it out and the inputs from the form on the previous page are working, but it isn't redirecting to the next page. Here's the code. Also, the MySQL connection is working, Im just hiding the password.

    <?php

    mysql_connect("localhost", "metacano_joe", "************") or die ("cannot   connect");

    mysql_select_db("metacano_metacanon") or die(mysql_error());

    $myusername=$_POST['myusername'];
    $mypassword=$_POST['mypassword'];

    $sql = "SELECT * FROM users WHERE username = '$myusername' and password = '$mypassword'";
    $result = mysql_query($sql);

    $count = mysql_num_rows($result);

    if($count==1){
    session_register("myusername");
    session_register("mypassword");
    header("location:login_success.php");
    }
    else {
    echo "Wrong Username or Password";
    }
    ?>
