CakePHP check if user is logged in inside a view

Question

I have the following code:

    Auth->user())
    {
        echo $this->element(\'header\');
    }
    else
    {
        e         


        

Answer 1

You don't need to do $this->set(compact('authUser')); only use this in View:

if ($this->Session->read('Auth.User')){
// do something 
}
