Before I get too far, I thought phpMyAdmin has it's own login page.  Why 
are you making another?

Anyway, you need to learn how to do some debugging, step by step.

You said you made a login page.  Go to the script that login form gets 
submitted to.  Put in echos for the variables you're submitting.  Did your 
input get through?  If not, there's your problem.  But, if so, go to the 
next step.

Now, you need to pass that information from there to the index.php, right?  
How are you passing it between the pages?  Check in index.php that the 
information you supplied is getting there.  If it's not, why not?  If it 
is, then are you putting it in the right place to be accepted by the 
system?

I hope you now get the idea of how to debug... think through your system,
step by step, create tests that checking things at each step of the
process.
