    <p>From the PDO manual:</p> <pre><code>PDOStatement::rowCount() returns the number of rows affected by the last DELETE, INSERT, or UPDATE statement executed by the corresponding PDOStatement object. If the last SQL statement executed by the associated PDOStatement was a SELECT statement, some databases may return the number of rows returned by that statement. However, this behaviour is not guaranteed for all databases and should not be relied on for portable applications. </code></pre> <p>I have this code:</p> <pre><code>&lt;?php require 'core.inc.php'; if(isset($_POST['user']) AND isset($_POST['pass'])){ if(!empty($_POST['user']) AND !empty($_POST['pass'])){ $user = $_POST['user']; $pass = $_POST['pass']; require 'connect.inc.php'; $st = $db_pdo-&gt;prepare("SELECT id FROM users WHERE user=? AND pass=?"); $st-&gt;bindParam(1, $user); $st-&gt;bindParam(2, $pass); $st-&gt;execute(); $result = $st-&gt;fetchColumn(); if($st-&gt;rowCount() &gt; 0){ $id_arr = $st-&gt;fetch(); $id = $id_arr[0]; $_SESSION['user_id'] = $id; header('Location: edit.php'); } else { echo 'Username or password incorrect';} } else { echo 'You must fill in all fields.';} } ?&gt; </code></pre> <p>The number of rows returned is always 0, as stated in the manual. No surprise there.</p> <p>1) I want to log a user in and set his $_SESSION id to his user ID from a db.</p> <p>2) I suck so much at PDO it's not even funny, I can't figure out what function to use to log the user in. If the number or rows is always 0, clearly the Username or password incorrect will appear all the time.</p>

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.
