mysql - PHP $_SESSION value is not setting correctly -

i have simple login page in php looks provided username , password in mysql database , sets php $_session variable if user found. works fine mostly, except $_session['user_type_id'] has value of 1 no matter value of $row[0]["user_type_id"].

var_dump ($row[0]["user_type_id"]) in code below confirms has correct value, var_dump($_session) (alongside first var_dump) shows $_session['user_type_id'] 1.

the $row value int while $_session value string, don't know if relevant. thing can think of i'm resetting session variable somewhere else don't recall doing , can't find happening anywhere.

i'm trying use value control permissions. can see i'm going wrong?

here session code

public static function new_session ($username, $pw, $inactive) {      $db = mydb::getconnection();      $statement = $db->prepare('select * users username = :parameter1 , `password` = :parameter2');     $statement->bindvalue(':parameter1', $username);     $statement->bindvalue(':parameter2', $pw);     $statement->execute();     $row = $statement->fetchall();      var_dump ($row[0]["user_type_id"]);      if (count($row) == 1) {          session_start();         ini_set('session.gc_maxlifetime', 60 * 20);          $_session['name'] = $row[0]['username'];         $_session['id'] = $row[0]['id'];         $_session['user_type_id'] = $row[0]["user_type_id"];          $_session['max'] = $inactive;         $_session['timeout'] = time() + $inactive;         $_session['loggedin'] = true;          return true;      } else {         return false;     }  } 

here output of var_dump ($row[0]['user_type_id'])

int(500) 

and here output of var_dump ($_session['user_type_id'])

string(1) "1" 

edit: below output of var_dump($result), suggested below @user3314428

array(5) {   ["id"]=>   int(2)   ["user_type_id"]=>   int(500)   ["username"]=>   string(5) "shane"   ["password"]=>   string(8) "***"   ["email"]=>   string(13) "***@***.**" 

}

var_dump ($_session['user_type_id'] still string(1) "1"

i don't causing problem here. use type of format login.

if(!isset($_session) session_start();     public static function new_session ($username, $pw, $inactive) {  $db = mydb::getconnection();  $statement = $db->prepare('select * users username = :parameter1 , `password` = :parameter2'); $statement->bindvalue(':parameter1', $username); $statement->bindvalue(':parameter2', $pw); $statement->execute(); if($statement->rowcount()==1) {   $result = $statement->fetch(pdo::fetch_assoc);   $_session['user_type_id']=$result['user_type_id'];   $_session['var2']= $result['var2'];   //and on }
