@Martin, thanks. debug($activeUser); returns the type of output I was expecting.
@abc, I'll look into the php version also. Now on to my problem, once I actually stopped to _read_ the debug output I realized that the $activeUser variable is NOT CHANGING when I log out and log back in again. In addition to the partial setup that I described above, here are the login and logout functions in my users_controller.php: function login() { if( $this->Auth->user() ) { // Redirect to start page. $this->redirect( array('controller' => 'pages', 'action' => 'start') ); } } // end login() function logout() { $this->Session->destroy(); $this->Session->SetFlash(__('Successfully logged out', true)); $this->redirect( array('controller' => 'pages', 'action' => 'home') ); } // end logout() I am using php 5.2.9-1 and cakePHP 1.2.3.8166.
