OK, I'm not clear on what you're trying to do here, but it seems like
if you don't have any data in the ID field, then either you have just
done an insert (in which case you need to get the last inserted ID),
or you're looking at the wrong bit of the data.
For instance, in my logic when I register a User, I do the following:
if ( $this->User->save($this->data) ){
$this->data['User']['user_id'] = $this->User-
>getLastInsertId();
This sets the field 'user_id' (which happens to be my primaryKey) to
the value of the row that was just inserted. For the actions where the
User already exists, I don't have to set the ID, since it is already
there once the data is populated.
