Display mysql_error() in your die() statement... so you actually know
why your query is failing instead of a generic, worthless error message.
If you're not getting the statement in your die() function, then the
query is running, but it's not matching any rows.
Also, FYI: Inside of a double quoted string, you can use {$_POST['key']}
or $_POST[key]... both are correct.
