Problems in password_verify() and password_hash(BCRYPT)

Question

So I was making a login system with MySQL and PHP and found out about the password_hash() and password_verify() functions. Then, just for satisfaction, I tried it on paiza.io and it worked fine. Then, I created a hash on my website (of "1234" and echoed it, then inserted it by myself into a MySQL database for even more satisfaction. And later on, I got it using mysqli_fetch_array and did the following:

$query = mysqli_query($conn, "SELECT UN, PWD FROM chat WHERE UN = 'test2'");
while ($row = mysqli_fetch_assoc($query)) {
    echo $row["PWD"]."<br>";
    // echoes the hash I copied and inserted into MySQL.
    if (password_verify("1234", $row["PWD"])) {
        echo "Verified!";
    } else {
        echo "Not verified!";
    }
}

and whatever I do it says "Not verified!"
then I try this:

    if (password_verify("1234", password_hash("1234", PASSWORD_BCRYPT)) {
        echo "Verified!";
    } else {
        echo "Not verified!";
    }

and it says "Verified!"
So what should I do? EDIT: The insert statement:

INSERT INTO unpw VALUES "$2y$10$ilT3uKq.9AbVuVIqJJFaK.wFyuzZCfmZ5Swjy9mUMEgSn896VNEvO";

Table structure:

Field Type     Null Key Default Extra
ID    int(11)  NO   PRI         auto_increment
UN    tinytext NO   
PWD   text     NO   
By DESCRIBE unpw

P.S. I inserted using the Adminer UI not SQL command but this is the command and there is no problem in MySQL it's in password_verify(); I just tried this (still errors):

$hash = the hash;
echo password_verify("1234", $hash);

doesn't echo 1
