Sir, kindly try these lines:
1) $query="INSERT INTO login VALUES ("$_POST('login')")";
2) $query="INSERT INTO login VALUES ("$_REQUEST('login')")";
or check in your php.ini file the line
register_globals = on/off
should be "on" if you wish to use
$query="INSERT INTO login VALUES ("$login")";
Note: I've observed an extra double quote in the line above in your script.
I hope this can help.

> Login: <input type="text" name="login">
> <input type="submit">
> </form>
> </body>

> PHP file called "addform.php":
> <?
> $user="chris";
> $database="test";
> mysql_connect(localhost,$user);
> @mysql_select_db($database) or die("unable to select database");
> $query="INSERT INTO login VALUES ("'$login')";
> mysql_query($query);
> mysql_close();
> ?>
> Login is the name of the table on the database named test.
