Re: checking if Save() method was successful...

Your model's save method doesn't actually return a boolean, you can
just use the method call itself in a conditional, but it actually
returns an array. You could check if $updated is not empty I believe:

if (!empty($updated)) {

}

Or use the method call itself in a condition to see if the save was
successful:

if ($this->Report->save($updates)) {

}
