php mysql错误_PHP mySQL错误

我是php的新手,所以我决定遵循this tutorial进行简单的登录.我得到了代码设置,但是当我尝试登录时出现此错误：

Warning: mysql_num_rows(): supplied argument is not a valid MySQL result resource in (a long file path to the script) on line 27

我从教程中获得的代码是：

ob_start();

$host="thehost"; // Host name

$username="myusername"; // Mysql username

$password="mypass"; // Mysql password

$db_name="test"; // Database name

$tbl_name="members"; // Table name

// Connect to server and select databse.

mysql_connect("$host", "$username", "$password")or die("cannot connect");

mysql_select_db("$db_name")or die("cannot select DB");

// Define $myusername and $mypassword

$myusername=$_POST['myusername'];

$mypassword=$_POST['mypassword'];

// To protect MySQL injection (more detail about MySQL injection)

$myusername = stripslashes($myusername);

$mypassword = stripslashes($mypassword);

$myusername = mysql_real_escape_string($myusername);

$mypassword = mysql_real_escape_string($mypassword);

$sql="SELECT * FROM $tbl_name WHERE username='$myusername' and password='$mypassword'";

$result=mysql_query($sql);

// Mysql_num_row is counting table row

$count=mysql_num_rows($result);

// If result matched $myusername and $mypassword, table row must be 1 row

if($count==1){

// Register $myusername, $mypassword and redirect to file "login_success.php"

session_register("myusername");

session_register("mypassword");

header("location:login_success.php");

}

else {

echo "Wrong Username or Password";

}

ob_end_flush();

?>

(注意：所有的mySQL数据库信息都填写在我的版本中)

Aslo,作者给出了php5版本和普通的php版本.我都尝试过并得到相同的错误.如果有人知道为什么会这样,将不胜感激.
