Any help?

I'm almost positive that you have some SQL syntax error that is causing all of your queries to return false.

Try adding or die(mysql_error()) at the end of your mysql_query() functions. That will return MySQL errors if they occur. Then we can diagnose the problem.

Example:

  
    $queryN = mysql_query("select * from user where username = '".$username."' and password = '".$md5_password."' AND 
level='1'") or die(mysql_error());#This variable will check if the user is a level 1 user (Normal User)
    $queryA = mysql_query("select * from user where username = '".$username."' and password = '".$md5_password."' AND 
level='9'") or die(mysql_error());#This variable will check if the user is a level 9 user (Admin User) 

Btw, you've already had a very similar error here:

mysql_query() always returns a boolean result of false when query errors occur.

And I gave the same advice as before and it eventually led to you solving your problem.
