Has the password been encrypted using PHP or MySQL? If MySQL is checking the validity of the password then let MySQL encrypt the password, not PHP. There may be subtle differences between PHP and MySQL regarding encryption. Amend the SQL code so MySQL encrypts then checks the validity - just for consistency purposes: PHP: $sql = "SELECT `id`, `username` FROM `users` WHERE `username`='$username' AND `password`=MD5($password)";
