Problems inserting a title, page goes blank

Question

Hi everyone!
Could anyone help me please?
As u can see by my username, I'm a newbie in PHP.
Now to the question:
I have made a site that extracts data (in my case movies) that logs in a user and shows all data that the user has entered as a table. I've written some titles in MySQL manually to see if it works and it did. The problem starts when I try to add a new title. It doesn't add the title I submitted and the page doesn't show neither the table nor the submit buttons. It doesn't show any errors either.
What's wrong with my code?

php

<html>
<body style="background-color:powderblue;">
     <head><title> 90s nostalgia </title> </head>
        <h1 style="text-align:center">"90's club "</h1> </br></br>
  <?php
#  error_reporting(E_ALL ^ E_NOTICE);
        include("c:/wamp/www/conf.php");
 # $login= $_POST['user'];
 #  $password= $_POST['pass'];
       if (isset($_POST['user'] ,$_POST['pass']))
       {
         $login= $_POST['user'];
   $password= $_POST['pass'];
        $connection=@mysql_connect($host, $user, $pass)or die("Unable to connect!");
       mysql_select_db($db, $connection) or die ('Unable to select database!');
       $query="select id from user where username='$login' and password='$password'";
            $result=mysql_query($query);
            $num=mysql_num_rows($result);

            if($num>0)
                {
           setcookie('username', $login, mktime()+300, '/');
         ?>

You need to move the head tag to between the html and the body tag, i.e.:

<html>
<body style="background-color:powderblue;">
     <head><title> 90´s nostalgia </title> </head>
        <h1 style="text-align:center">"90's club "</h1> </br></br>

SHOULD BE:

<html>
     <head><title> 90´s nostalgia </title> </head>
<body style="background-color:powderblue;">
        <h1 style="text-align:center">"90's club "</h1> </br></br>

Thanks for your reply!
I'm sorry but I forgot to mention that the only thing appearing on screen is 90´s nostalgia and 90's club. The rest is blank.

in your submitted code the HEADER AND TITLE is inside the BODY.
please arrange it properly.

<html>
<body style="background-color:powderblue;">
     <head><title> 90´s nostalgia </title> </head>
        <h1 style="text-align:center">"90's club "</h1> </br></br>

body should be after head and title....hope it helps...

correct the above mentioned error, and check your query and mysql function, some times due to that any error comes.

I solved the inserting problem by moving it to a separate file.
Thanks to all of you who tried to correct my problems!
