Its because you are redirecting before setting the data.
Try this, assuming you are using the Auth component.
function login() {
$this->set('error', false);
if ($this->Auth->user()) {
$this->Session->setFlash('You are logged in!');
$this->Session->write('user.email', $this->Auth->user('email'));
$this->redirect('/', null, false);
}
}
But at that point, you can use use this everywhere if a user is logged
in.
$this->Auth->user('email')
