login with ajax,jquery - Checking Login with Ajax + PHP - Stack Overflow

I created a simple login for with just two inputs username and password. Im using ajax to pass the data being this will be used in a mobile app. For some reason, I am having an issue verifying my credentials against whats stored in the db. I am using standard PDO and a very simple ajax formData call.

My form:

Username

data-corners="true" />

Password

data-mini="true" data-corners="true" />

LOGIN

My ajax POST method in the head of my doc (in the same document as my form):

var fd = new FormData( $(this)[0] );

var username = $("#uName").val();

var password = $("#uPass").val();

$.ajax({

type: 'POST',

processData: false,

contentType: false,

async: false,

//data: { user: username, pass: password },//

data: fd,

url: 'urltomylogincheck/loginChk.php',

success: function(html){

if(html==1) {

//$("#add_err").html("right username or password");

sessionStorage.setItem("user",username);

alert('Wait while we log you in');

window.location.href = 'user.html';

}

else {

$("#add_err").css('display', 'inline', 'important');

$("#add_err").html("

Wrong username or password


");

}

},

beforeSend:function()

{

$("#add_err").css('display', 'inline', 'important');

$("#add_err").html("img%20src=Loading...
")

}

});

return false;

});

});

an my simple PHP check service:

session_start();

$user = $_POST['uName'];

$pass = md5($_POST['uPass']);

if(isset($user))

{

$check = $conn->prepare("SELECT * FROM profiletbl

WHERE user = :UserName and pass = :Password");

$check->bindParam(':UserName', $user);

$check->bindParam(':Password', $pass);

$check->execute();

$count = $check->rowCount();

$row = $check-> fetch();

if($count==1)

{

$_SESSION['uName'] = $row['user'];

///header("location: home.html");

}

else {

$errmsg_arr[] = 'Username and Password are not found';

$errflag = true;

session_write_close();

///header("location: about.html");

exit();

}

$check = null;

When i test the login, it simply get a response from loginCheck.php that says:

I've created a login before with no problem using mysqli but for some reason, Im starting to believe something in my ajax is causing the stink. Any help with this would be great.
