Password hash returning false - php

Question

So I have a simple login script, but when I started encrypting passwords and using password_verify I seem to get the same result all the time, false. Here's my login script
<?php
session_start();
$host = "localhost";
$user = "root";
$pass = "root";
$dbname = "users";
try{
$con = new PDO("mysql:host=$host;dbname=$dbname", $user, $pass);
$con->setAttribute(PDO::ATTR_ERRMODE, PDO::ERRMODE_EXCEPTION);
}
catch(PDOException $e){
echo $e->getMessage();
}
$email = htmlspecialchars($_POST['email'], ENT_QUOTES, 'UTF-8');
$pass = htmlspecialchars($_POST['password'], ENT_QUOTES, 'UTF-8');
$st = $con->prepare("SELECT * FROM users WHERE email = :email AND password = :pass");
$st->bindValue(':email', $email, PDO::PARAM_STR);
$st->bindValue(':pass', $pass, PDO::PARAM_STR);
$st->execute();
$rows = $st->fetch(PDO::FETCH_NUM);
if($email === ''){
$_SESSION['message1'] = 'Enter a valid email';
header('Location: index.php');
exit();
}
elseif($pass === ''){
$_SESSION['message1'] = 'Enter a valid password';
header('Location: index.php');
exit();
}
elseif($rows > 0){
$_SESSION['loggedin'] = true;
$hash = $con->prepare("SELECT password FROM users WHERE email = :email");
$hash->bindValue(':email', $email);
$hash->execute();
}
elseif(password_verify($pass, $hash)){
$name = $con->prepare("SELECT name FROM users WHERE email = :email");
$name->bindValue(':email', $email, PDO::PARAM_STR);
$name->execute();
$rows = $name->fetchAll(PDO::FETCH_ASSOC);
foreach ($rows as $row) {
$_SESSION['name'] = $row['name'];
}
header('Location: profile.php');
}
else{
$_SESSION['message1'] = 'Make sure email and password are correct';
header('Location: index.php');
exit();
}
?>
Also here's how I'm encrypting
$passh = password_hash($pass, PASSWORD_DEFAULT)."\n";
$db = $con->prepare("INSERT INTO users (name, email, password) VALUES (:name, :email, :passh)");
$db->bindValue(':name', $name, PDO::PARAM_STR);
$db->bindValue(':email', $email, PDO::PARAM_STR);
$db->bindValue(':passh', $passh, PDO::PARAM_STR);
$db->execute();
$_SESSION['name'] = $name;
$_SESSION['email'] = $email;
$_SESSION['loggedin'] = true;
header('Location: profile.php');
exit();
Error reporting is enabled, but for some reason its still not working and simply displays Make sure email and password are correct, which come from the next else statement. Any ideas? I'm fairly new. Also any security tips would be great. Thanks in advance.
UPDATED CODE
<?php

$con->setAttribute(PDO::ATTR_ERRMODE, PDO::ERRMODE_EXCEPTION);
}
catch(PDOException $e){
echo $e->getMessage();
}
$email = htmlspecialchars($_POST['email'], ENT_QUOTES, 'UTF-8');
$pass = htmlspecialchars($_POST['password'], ENT_QUOTES, 'UTF-8');
$hash = $con->prepare("SELECT password FROM users WHERE email = :email");
$hash->bindValue(':email', $email);
$hash->execute();
$rows1 = $hash->fetchAll(PDO::FETCH_ASSOC);
foreach ($rows1 as $row1) {
$_SESSION['hash'] = $row1['hash'];
}
$st = $con->prepare("SELECT * FROM users WHERE email = :email AND password = :pass");

}
elseif($rows > 0 || password_verify($pass, $hash) ){

exit();
}

Look at your query one more time:
SELECT password FROM users WHERE email = :email
You are selecting the column password,
when you fetch the row you are using the field hash
$_SESSION['hash'] = $row1['hash'];
Unlike you think, your script is not simple at all, you are performing 3 queries on the same record, try this approach
$email = $_POST['email'];
$pass = $_POST['password'];
if($email === ''){
$_SESSION['message1'] = 'Enter a valid email';
header('Location: index.php');
exit();
}
if($pass === ''){
$_SESSION['message1'] = 'Enter a valid password';
header('Location: index.php');
exit();
}
$query = 'SELECT name, email, password
FROM users
WHERE email = :email LIMIT 1';
$stmt = $con->prepare($query);
$stmt->bindValue(':email', $email);
$stmt->execute();
$row = $stmt->fetch(PDO::FETCH_ASSOC);
if(!$row){
$_SESSION['message1'] = 'User does not exist';
header('Location: index.php');
exit();
}
//hashed password from Database
$hash = $row['password'];
if(password_verify($pass, $hash)){
$_SESSION['hash'] = $row['password'];
$_SESSION['name'] = $row['name'];
$_SESSION['email'] = $row['email'];
header('Location: profile.php');
}else{
$_SESSION['message1'] = 'Make sure email and password are correct';
header('Location: index.php');
exit();
}
