Can someone find the error in my code

Question

I have been looking for a mistake in my php and mysql for the past 5 hours. I have no clue what I have done wrong or if there is just a problem with my mamp. I think it may be a problem with my mamp. This is where I believe the problem would be taking place. Basically my goal with all of this was to make so when I click submit it displays the username and password that the user entered in the two fields. Thanks.

site/core/init.php

<?php
session_start();
error_reporting(0);

require 'database/connect.php';
require 'functions/users.php';

$errors = array();
?>

site/login

<?php
include 'core/init.php';
if(empty($_post) === false) {

$username = $_post['username'];
$password = $_post['password'];

echo $username, ' ', $password;

}
?>

site/core/database/users.php

NOTHING HERE YET

site/includes/widgets/logins

        <aside>         
            <div class = "rightsidebar">
                <h2>Log in/Register</h2>
                <form action = "login.php" method = "post">
                    <ul id = ".login">
                        <li>
                            Username:<br>
                            <input type = "text" name = "username">
                        </li>
                        <li>
                            Password:<br>
                            <input type = "password" name = "password">
                        </li>
                        <li>
                            <input type = "submit" value = "Log In">
                        </li>                                                       
                        <li>
                            <a href = "register.php"><p>Register</p></a>
                        </li>                       
                    </ul>
                </form>
            </div>
        </aside>

  mysql_select_db('lr');

`$_POST`, not `$_post`. http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2749781/why-are-functions-and-methods-in-php-case-insensitive — Jessica, Dec 25 '13 at 19:14
A number of issues - you use a comma in your call to `echo`, i think you wanted to use a period `.` here (for glueing strings together). You gave an element an `id` beginning with a period `.` - this is not valid for `id` properties/attributes. — SquareCat, Dec 25 '13 at 19:14

Change your $_post with $_POST

Also, in development environment, you better use error_reporting(E_ALL); than error_reporting(0); At least you will see what is going wrong.

IMHO I would suggest that error reporting should be always -1 (`error_reporting(-1);`), development or production environment. Only difference between dev or prod env should be `ini_set('display_errors', TRUE or FALSE);`. – Glavić Dec 25 '13 at 20:13
