Re: Log last login using Auth component

In order to run and updates against the users table you need to prevent
the auth component from auto redirecting after $this->Auth->user() with:

function beforeFilter() {
$this->Auth->autoRedirect = false;
}

then in your login routine just set

$this->User->last_login = date("Y-m-d H:i:s");
