Question

My admin panel of my website is no longer working after the php updated of my hosting

here are the files code that looks very old so i wonder how to edit its code.

1) login.php (it is just simple form)

<form method="post" name="login" id="login" action="admin.php">
Username : <input name="loginid" id="loginid" type="text">
Password : <input name="password" id="password" type="password">
</form> 

2) It send informations to admin.php (here i think there is something been no longer works)

<?PHP
session_start();
require_once("../config.php"); // db connection

$loginid = $HTTP_POST_VARS['loginid'];
$password = $HTTP_POST_VARS['password'];

$sql= "select * from settings where admuser='$loginid' and admpass='$password'";
$result = mysql_query($sql) or die("query failed: $sql");

if($line=mysql_fetch_array($result)){

session_register("loginid");
header("Location: home.php ");
exit;

}else{

$msg= "Login Failed";
session_register('msg');
header("Location: login.php ");
exit;

}
?>

However it is very simple as my knowledge in php is very small and old but it didn’t worked ! so any idea

Note : PHP Version 5.2.17 | register_globals = On (also not working if it Off)

Thanks for help

These have been deprecated:

$loginid = $HTTP_POST_VARS['loginid'];
$password = $HTTP_POST_VARS['password'];

should be:

$loginid = $_POST['loginid'];
$password = $_POST['password'];

and session_register($msg) should be:

session_start();
$_SESSION['msg'] = 'Login Failed';
