Why do i got this : Array ( [name] => [pass] => ) - php

Question

Why do i get this when i print my session :
Array ( [name] => [pass] => ) ?
Below is my code
My main page for user to input, login.php:
<form action="" method="post">
<div class="imgcontainer">
<img src="KBR2xN6.jpg" alt="Avatar" class="avatar">
</div>
<div class="container">
<label><b>Username</b></label>
<input type="text" placeholder="Enter Username" name="name" required>
<br />
<label><b>Password</b></label>
<input type="password" placeholder="Enter Password" name="pass" required>
<button type="submit">Login</button>
<button type="reset" class="cancelbtn">Reset</button>
</div>
</form>
To connect to local server, connections.php:
$host = "localhost";
$username = "root";
$password = "";
$database = "netbook 1 malaysia";
try {
$connect = new PDO("mysql:host=$host; dbname=$database", $username, $password);
$connect->setAttribute(PDO::ATTR_ERRMODE, PDO::ERRMODE_EXCEPTION);
}
catch(PDOException $ex) {
echo 'Connection Failed : '.$ex->getMessage();
}
My session page, session.php:
session_start();
include('connections.php');
$username = $_POST['name'];
$password = $_POST['pass'];
$sql = "SELECT * FROM pengguna WHERE username = '$username' AND password = '$password'";
$result = $connect->query($sql);
if($result->rowcount()>0){
foreach($result AS $data){
$_SESSION['name'] = $data['name'];
$_SESSION['pass'] = $data['pass'];
echo "<script>alert('Login Success');
window.location.href='view.php';
</script>";
}
}
else {
echo "<script>alert('Login Failed');
window.location.href='login.php';
</script>";
}
Maybe my database failed ?

Answer 1

$result contains a resource, not database data directly.
When we expected just one row form database, no loop is needed. Using a loop you'll have just on name/pass in session, it'll be overwritten in your code for the last one.
$data = $result->fetch_assoc();
$_SESSION['name'] = $data['name'];
$_SESSION['pass'] = $data['pass'];
print_r($_SESSION);
Note that there is no reason to store password in session, the same as store password in database as a plaintext.

Where you print session array? if you print session on view.php file then make sure to start session on view.php file.
