When updating a single field it is better to use saveField(). Assuming 4 is the ID of the user you are trying to save:
$this->User->id = 4; $this->User->saveField('last_login', date('Y-m-d H:i:s')) If your query is only saving when disabling validation that means that it is not validating :) You should debug to see what fields are invalid. -MI --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Remember, smart coders answer ten questions for every question they ask.

I do this; $someone['User']['last_login'] = date('Y-m-d H:i:s'); $this->User->save($someone); Which should be updating the last_login field with the current datetimestamp; though it doesn't work. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Cake PHP" group.
