Answer 1

Change
$record=mysql_fetch_assoc($query)
To
$record=mysql_fetch_assoc($result)
Note: Please, don't use mysql_* functions in new code. They are no longer maintained and are officially deprecated. See the red box? Learn about prepared statements instead, and use PDO, or MySQLi - this article will help you decide which. If you choose PDO, here is a good tutorial.

Answer 2

use this code ( replace $query with $result )
<?php
$login= $_POST['login'];
$password= $_POST['password'];
if($login && $password){
$con = mysql_connect("localhost", "root", "")or die ('no connection');
mysql_select_db("jocales",$con) or die ('no');
$query= "SELECT * FROM users WHERE uName ='$login' AND uPassword = '$password'";
$result = mysql_query($query)or die(mysql_error()." in query $query");
$record=mysql_fetch_assoc($result) or die(mysql_error()." in query $query");
?>

Answer 3

The function mysql_fetch_assoc() expects one parameter and it should be a resource type. You're providing a string.
$query= "SELECT * FROM users WHERE uName ='$login' AND uPassword = '$password'";
$result = mysql_query($query)or die(mysql_error()." in query $query");
//this is the issue!
$record = mysql_fetch_assoc($query) or die(mysql_error()." in query $query");
the last statement should be
$record = mysql_fetch_assoc($result) or die(mysql_error()." in query $query");
NOTE (straight from php.net about mysql_*)
Warning
This extension is deprecated as of PHP 5.5.0, and will be removed in the future. Instead, the MySQLi or PDO_MySQL extension should be used. See also MySQL: choosing an API guide and related FAQ for more information.
