I am really baffled by this problem.  I have tried so many things to get
this working but to no avail.  Here is the
actual code:

function verify_user($username, $password){
 $conn = mysql_connect($db_host, $db_user, $db_pass) or
   die("Error while connecting to Database System.");
 $select_db = mysql_select_db($db_name) or
   die("Error could not select the database");
 $query = "SELECT FROM users WHERE username='$username'";
 $result = mysql_query($query) or
  die("Unable to get query");
 $rows = mysql_fetch_array($result);
  $password = md5($password);
   if($rows["password"] == $password){
    print "You have been verified as $username.<br>";
    print "Registering your session.<br>";
   }
   else{
   print "Error: Bad username or password.<br>";
   print "Please go <a href=\"/?page=admin&step=1\">back</a>";
   }


}

Anyways the problem is I cannot get it to even get to the database.  It
works when I try to connect in the actual code before I call this function.
Like for example in index.php

 $conn = mysql_connect($db_host, $db_user, $db_pass) or
   die("Error while connecting to Database System.");
 $select_db = mysql_select_db($db_name) or
   die("Error could not select the database");
verify_user($username, $pass);

But when I do it that way it won't let me run a query right.  I am so
baffled.  Any input would be appreciated.  Thanks.
