Two errors that I can find: 1. You're missing the 'WHERE' key word in your SQL: $sql = "SELECT access_code FROM authorised_users user_id = '$userid' AND user_password = '$password' AND account = '$account'"; should be: $sql = "SELECT access_code FROM authorised_users WHERE user_id = '$userid' AND user_password = '$password' AND account = '$account'";
2. Your mysql_num_rows is misspelled (Yours is mysql_numrows) making the subsequent 'if' statement FALSE.
