I'm having so problem with a little project I've been working on. I'm trying to learn as much as I can about html, php, MySQL, etc. I created a database with MySQL and I know that I have that setup correctly, because the login page I'm using is able to know what is the right, and wrong user accounts. I cant seem to be able to get the page to redirect to the welcome page on a successful login. Here is my code.
Login Page Code
<?php
include("config.php");
session_start();
if($_SERVER["REQUEST_METHOD"] == "POST") {
// username and password sent from form
$myusername = mysqli_real_escape_string($db,$_POST['username']);
$mypassword = mysqli_real_escape_string($db,$_POST['password']);
$sql = "SELECT id FROM admin WHERE username = '$myusername' and passcode = '$mypassword'";
$result = mysqli_query($db,$sql);
$row = mysqli_fetch_array($result,MYSQLI_ASSOC);
$active = $row['active'];
$count = mysqli_num_rows($result);
// If result matched $myusername and $mypassword, table row must be 1 row
if($count == 1) {
session_register("myusername");
$_SESSION['username'] = $myusername;
header("location: welcome.php");
}else {
$error = "Your Login Name or Password is invalid";
}
}
?>

Session Code

session_start();

if(!isset($_SESSION['username'])){
header("location:welcome.php");
}
?>

include('session.php');
