   I'm trying to write a very simple plugin to track when users log in to wordpress. At the moment, it's not going well :-(

   I can't understand why, but the below doesn't work. Any ideas why?

   function access_log_insert_record()
   {
   	global $current_user;
   	$cur_user = $current_user->user_login;
   	global $wpdb;
   	$table = $wpdb->prefix."access_log";
   	$wpdb->query("INSERT INTO $table (access_user, access_date_time) VALUES($cur_user, NOW()) ");
   
   }
   
   add_action('wp_login', 'access_log_insert_record');

   At this points $current_user is not created yet. at least that, what it looks like. you can get user_login directly from wp_login action like this:

   function access_log_insert_record($login)
   {
   	global $wpdb;
   	$table = $wpdb->prefix."access_log";
   	$wpdb->query("INSERT INTO $table (access_user, access_date_time) VALUES($login, NOW()) ");
   
   }
   
   add_action('wp_login', 'access_log_insert_record');

   At least, thats how i got user thats loggin in from wp_login hook.
