Justin and Holger nailed it. I just want to add that your query is
problematic. Your where clause should always contain both a username and
password. Don't forget that passwords are not unique. Also, your code
could produce the nonsensical "where and password = ...". I'd use
JavaScript on the first form to ensure that a non-blank username and
password have been supplied.
