<?php

    $db = 'inventory';
    $host = 'localhost';
    $port = 8888;
    $link = mysqli_init();
    $success = mysqli_real_connect(

    <?php
    $username = $_POST['username'];
    $password = $_POST['password'];
    $sql = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM login WHERE username = '".$_POST['username']."' and password = '".md5($_POST['password'])."'");
    $row = mysql_num_rows($sql);
    if($rom > 0 )
    {
      session_start();
      $_SESSION['username'] = $_POST['username'];
      $_SESSION['password'] = $_POST['password'];
      echo "login done";
    }else {
      echo "fail login ";
    }
    ?>

The Error

PHP Fatal error: Uncaught Error: Call to undefined function mysql_query() in /Applications/MAMP/htdocs/lprapp/config.php:23 Stack trace:#0 {main} thrown in /Applications/MAMP/htdocs/lprapp/config.php on line 23

You are mixing mysql and mysqli

Change these lines:

$sql = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM login WHERE username = '".$_POST['username']."' and password = '".md5($_POST['password'])."'");
$row = mysql_num_rows($sql);
to
$sql = mysqli_query($success, "SELECT * FROM login WHERE username = '".$_POST['username']."' and password = '".md5($_POST['password'])."'");
$row = mysqli_num_rows($sql);
