function CheckLoginInDB($username,$password)
{
    if(!$this->DBLogin())
    {
        $this->HandleError("Database login failed!");
        return false;
    }          
    $username = $this->SanitizeForSQL($username);
    $pwdmd5 = md5($password);
    $qry = "Select name, email from $this->tablename where username='$username' and password='$pwdmd5' and confirmcode='y'";

    $result = mysql_query($qry,$this->connection);

    if(!$result || mysql_num_rows($result) <= 0)
    {
        $this->HandleError("Error logging in. The username or password does not match");
        return false;

Edit: I also noticed that in your code, you call one method however, you show us a differently one … I don’t think that is right.

Try adding or die(mysql_error()) to your line:

$result = mysql_query($qry,$this->connection);

To become:

$result = mysql_query($qry,$this->connection) or die(mysql_error());

My guess is your query is failing.
