    <p>I have been scratching my head on this for over 2 hours. I have researched articles on stackoverflow including:</p> <ul> <li><p><a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/16246082/issue-with-bcrypt-not-verifying-correctly">Issue with Bcrypt not verifying correctly</a></p></li> <li><p><a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/19855715/php-password-hash-and-password-verify-issues-no-match">php password_hash and password_verify issues no match</a></p></li> <li><p><a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/15090481/password-verify-call-returning-false-for-correct-password">`password_verify` call returning false for correct password</a></p></li> </ul> <p>And I havent been able to correct my issue. I would appreciate some guidance on how much of an idiot I am being:</p> <p><strong>Function to insert data into MySQL database:</strong></p> <pre><code>function insertUser($userObj) { $query = $this-&gt;databaseConnection-&gt;getStntPrepare()-&gt;prepare( "INSERT INTO user(username, userpassword) VALUES (?,?);"); $username = $userObj-&gt;getUsername(); $password = password_hash('testing1234', PASSWORD_BCRYPT); $query-&gt;bind_param('ss', $username, $password); } </code></pre> <p><strong>Verification of user login by retrieving data from MySQL:</strong></p> <pre><code>function findUser($userObj) { $query = $this-&gt;databaseConnection-&gt;getStntPrepare()-&gt;prepare( "SELECT userid, userpassword FROM user WHERE username=?"); $pass = 'testing1234' $query-&gt;bind_param('s', $userObj-&gt;getUsername()); $query-&gt;execute(); $query-&gt;bind_result($userid, $hash); while ($query-&gt;fetch()) { if (password_verify($pass, $hash)) { echo 'Password is valid!'; } else { echo 'Invalid password.'; } } } </code></pre> <p>When run I get 'Invalid password.'</p> <p><strong>When I do the below without inserting into database then retrieving:</strong></p> <pre><code>$hash = password_hash('testing1234', PASSWORD_BCRYPT); if (password_verify('testing1234', $hash)) { echo 'Password is valid!'; } else { echo 'Invalid password.'; } </code></pre> <p>I get 'Password is valid!'</p> <p>I believe my problem is something to do with single and double quotes and the interpretation of dollar sign ($) in the password field, as a variable instead of literal (as one of the articles suggests) when storing/retrieving from MySQL database - however I haven't had any luck in resolving. Below is the hash value of 'testing1234':</p> <p>$2y$10$1/oQEuYX67n.U3usxH.7tenNq7hT2dKyBSIZsy5xR3W</p>

    1. COWhat data type is your `userpassword` field in the database? What value do you see if you `echo $hash` just before you call `password_verify()`? (Also: try `echo strlen($hash)`...)

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
