Using php and the while loop to print a table of data that is being selected from a mysql db [duplicate]

I am new at php and am trying to learn CRUD applications. For this part of the code I have a table set up in a database (mysql). I am trying to interact with the table. I want a user to login (that part works) and when they are logged in- I store a message in $_SESSION that says ie. 'success'. This lets me know the user is logged in. Not the problem. The second piece is that IF there are rows IN THE TABLE already (from previous sessions) I want to print out these rows in a table. If there are no rows I want to print out "No rows"

I am trying to use simple logic here where first I create the $row variable by doing a fetch that comes from a pdo object(also fine). If that row is TRUE ie. it exists, print the table. If that row is false, print no rows. However, I keep getting the whole table printed, say 5 times. Instead of the 5 rows in the table.

Also, I am not sure I am using the correct type of while () statement. Which right now reads,
while ($row = $stmt->fetch(PDO::FETCH_ASSOC))

And then I get the WHOLE table and all rows 5 whole times. fetch and PDO::FETCH_ASSOC are a bit unclear to me, and I am understanding the $row as either true or false.

$stmt= $pdo->query("SELECT make, model, year, mileage from autos");
$row = $stmt->fetch(PDO::FETCH_ASSOC); 

if (   isset($_SESSION['success']) && $row == true  ) {

while ($row = $stmt->fetch(PDO::FETCH_ASSOC)){

echo ('<table border="1">'."\n");
    echo "<tr><td>";
    echo "Make";
    echo ("</td><td>");
    echo "Model";
    echo ("</td><td>");
    echo "Year";
    echo ("</td><td>");
    echo "Mileage";
    echo ("</td><td>");
    echo "Action";
    echo ("</td></tr>");
    
    echo "<tr><td>";
    echo (htmlentities($row['make']));
    echo ("</td><td>");
    echo (htmlentities($row['model']));
    echo ("</td><td>");
    echo (htmlentities($row['year']));
    echo ("</td><td>");
    echo (htmlentities($row['mileage']));
    echo ("</td><td>");
    echo ('<a href="edit.php?user_id='.$row['user_id'].'">Edit</a>'.'/'.'<a 
    href="delete".php?user_id='.$row['user_id'].'>Delete</a>');
    echo "</td></tr>";
  }



  } elseif (    isset($_SESSION['success']) && $row == false  ){

  echo "No rows found";
  }

Confusion between commands.Bot and discord.Client | Which one should I use?

Whenever you look at YouTube tutorials or code from this website there is a real variation. Some developers use client = discord.Client(intents=intents) while the others use bot = commands.Bot(command_prefix="something", intents=intents) . Now I know slightly about the difference but I get errors from different places from my code when I use either of them and its confusing. Especially since there has a few changes over the years in discord.py it is hard to find the real difference. I tried sticking to discord.Client then I found that there are more features in commands.Bot . Then I found errors when using commands.Bot . An example of this is: When I try to use commands.Bot client = commands.Bot(command_prefix=">",intents=intents) async def load(): for filename in os.listdir("./Cogs"): if filename.endswith(".py"): client.load_extension(f"Cogs.{filename[:-3]}") The above doesnt giveany response from my Cogs ...
