You have your first request here :

>>>        $sth = $db->prepare('
>>> select first_name, city, avatar, login > logout as online
>>> from pref_users where id=?
>>> ');

then the second:

>>>        $sth->execute(array($id));

in auto-commit, each request/transaction will probably be affected to
a different connection with pgbouncer in mode transaction. So you need
to have a begin/commit before/after them to be sure everything is
executed together.
