e.g.
Try:

CREATE TABLE emp (
    id int4 primary key,
    empname text,
    salary int4,
    last_date datetime,
    last_user name);

CREATE FUNCTION emp_stamp () RETURNS OPAQUE AS
    BEGIN
        update emp set last_date=''now''::timestamp where id=NEW.id;
        RETURN NEW;
    END;
' LANGUAGE 'plpgsql';

CREATE TRIGGER emp_stamp BEFORE UPDATE ON emp
    FOR EACH ROW EXECUTE PROCEDURE emp_stamp();
