CAN ANYONE HELP!!!!

i seem to be having a problem at the moment, i've just created a new PHP script and everytime i go to run it, i get a Microsoft Windows XP error report.

why is this?

skripty

perhaps your server does not support PHP. Or there is an error in your code. What error message is it?

i am trying to create a user login page, here is my script, does it look like it contains any errors:

<?php
session_start();
session_register("username");
$username = username;
?>

<head>
<title>Login Page</title>
</head>

<?php

$db = mysql_connect("localhost","root");
mysql_select_db("Football",$db);

if ((isset($HTTP_POST_VARS['username']) == true) && (isset($HTTP_POST_VARS['password']) == true))
{
$username= $HTTP_POST_VARS['username'];
$password = $HTTP_POST_VARS['password'];
$query = mysql_query("SELECT FROM members WHERE username = '$username' AND password = '$password'");
if (MYSQL_NUM_ROWS($query) == "1")
{
$query1 ="SELECT FROM members WHERE username ='$username'";
$result = mysql_query($query1);
$footie = mysql_fetch_array($result);
$username =$footie["username"];
$first =$footie["first"];

echo "Welcome $first";
?>
<blockquote>
<input type=hidden name="username" value="<?php echo $username ?>">
<br>
<
<?php

} else {
echo "Sorry, Your Information is not located in our records, please try
re-entering your login details or register!";
}
}
?>

</body>

I would question this bit of the code...

<?php
session_start();
session_register("username");
$username = username;
?>

the "$username = username;" bit
what is the "username" without the "$"
I thought ALL variables had to have a $ before them?

Otherwise.. the code looks fine.
