Thanks Jeremy, I caught that one myself a little while ago in the manual
query, I should have updated this post.
My original concern was why I couldn't get this script to run the update:
[code]
$date = date('Y-m-d H:i:s');
$this->User->read(null, $id);
$this->User->set(array(
'approved' => 1,
'last_login' => $date,
'activation_code' => ''
)
);
$this->User->save();
[/code]
I used it to run an update in a different action and it worked. Is it the
right script for the job or am I just barking up the wrong tree? No matter
which way I write the date in this one it just won't take and I kept it
almost identical to the one that works (or does it? now I need to go double
check). K, I double checked and it does indeed work.
