Logging in a user after registering

Question

Hi, I am using cakephp framework to build my application. I want that, whenever a user registers he is automatically logged in and shown a particular page. Please tell me how do i achieve this functionality? using xampp, with php 5.2 and mysql 5.0 on winXP.

Well, it comes down to the following:

• When your user is registered, store his login credentials
• Call $this->Auth->login()
• Redirect to your page

See more info about Auth::login() here:
