If i use $this->invalidate("password", "Passwords do not match");
how do i associate that in my view.. Currently my view has
<?php echo $form->input('password',
array('error' => 'Password must be at least 4
characters.',
'type'=>'password',
'value' =>''));
?>
for the password.. If i do as you say, i still get the error about
being at least 4 characters.. Personally i'd rather not even have the
error messages in the view but in the models.. How do i set the error
from invalidate to display in the views?
