PHP and MySQL Login Page HTTP Error 500

Question

I am creating a PHP and MySQL login page. I have got registration to work but when I got to the login page I get an HTTP 500 Error. I'm pretty sure it's the login.php file because the registration works which is using the same connect.php file.

login.php

<?php  //Start the Session
session_start();
require('../inc/connect.php');
if (isset($_POST['username']) and isset($_POST['password'])){
    $username = $_POST['username'];
    $password = $_POST['password'];
    $query = "SELECT * FROM `user` WHERE username='$username' and password='$password'";

    $result = mysqli_query($connection, $query) or die(mysqli_error($connection));
    $count = mysqli_num_rows($result);
    if ($count == 1){
        $_SESSION['username'] = $username;
    }else{
        $fmsg = "Invalid Login Credentials.";
    }
}
if (isset($_SESSION['username'])){
    $username = $_SESSION['username'];
    echo "Hai " . $username . "";
    echo "This is the Members Area";
    echo "<a href='logout.php'>Logout</a>";

}else{
    echo  "Please login.";
}
?>

connect.php

<?php
$connection = mysqli_connect('localhost', 'username', 'password');
if (!$connection){
    die("Database Connection Failed" . mysqli_error($connection));
}
$select_db = mysqli_select_db($connection, 'beta');
if (!$select_db){
    die("Database Selection Failed" . mysqli_error($connection));
}
?>

Answer 1

the reason it wasn't working is it says "../inc/connect.php" which pulls from another directory, not the web root. So I changed it to "./inc/connect.php" which works.
