Question

Im not sure how can I login a user right after hes creation using yii framework.

In UserController I created the actionRegister in order to allow a user to create a new acccount, here if the user is successfully saved to db I would like to preform the login for this user aswell. Heres my code:

    public function actionRegister()
    {
        $model=new User;

        if(isset($_POST['User']))
        {
            $model->attributes=$_POST['User'];

            if($model->save()){            

                $identity=new UserIdentity($model->email,$model->password);
                $identity->authenticate();
                Yii::app()->user->login($identity);

                $this->redirect(array('view','id'=>$model->id));                
            }
        }
        $this->render('register',array('model'=>$model));
    }

Thank you in advance for any help u can give me in this matter.

Ok, seems like I’m answering my own question…

Turns out that $this->redirect(array('view','id'=>$model->id)); was not letting the login happen for some obscure reason… I can’t answer to that since I started learning yii yesterday, but would appreciate if anyone with the knowledge could justify it.

So the solution is just remove the redirect and we got a user logged in user right after the account creation.
