Line 7: change it to (add the $ sign):

if ($username && $password)

Hopefully you use prepared statements or do some sanitizing of input variables before using them in queries/urls/html/mail/script.

Thanks that helped but now i have just 1 more issue

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '}' in C:\wamp\www\rdn\login.php on line 19

ANother thing:

mysql_select_db("phplogin" , $link);

You seem to be creating a connection via mysqli but then you ref via deprecated mysql_* functions. It's all jumbled up.

Also the query

SELECT * FROM username 

looks suspicious. Usually it looks like:

"SELECT * FROM users WHERE username='" . mysqli_real_escape_string($username) . "' AND password='" . yourHashFunction($password) . "'";

Regarding the parse error you are getting, first correct the code as per diafol's post and then if you still get the error post the whole script.
