Re: how to display validation error messages

FormHelper will display the error. But it seems to depend upon how you
define your input. Sometimes, you need to explicitly set the error
element. I still haven't figured it out. Whenever I run into this, I
just add the following wherever I need it:

$form->error(FIELD_NAME);

Where FIELD_NAME, in this case, would be 'district'.
