CakePHP\'s FormHelper is how you generate forms when making CakePHP applications. As one might assume, this includes generating input elements, like so:

Your answer is correct, but for the benefit of other users there's some other tweaks you can do to take advantage of the error/help text:

Add form-horizontal to class in the Form->create() for more compact forms (labels on the left of the input, rather than on top)

Here's how to put help text underneath a field (has to be done for each field), not forgetting to close the 
.

echo $this->Form->input('field_name', array(
            'after'=>'This text appears 
               underneath the input.
'));


and to correctly display errors:

// cake 2.0
echo $this->Form->input('abc', array(
    'error' => array('attributes' => array('class' => 'controls help-block'))
));


Outputs:


  Abc
  
    
  
  
  This is the error validation message.
  



It's extra mark-up and not as neat as bootstrap but it's a quick fix. The alternative is to do each error message individually.

and it lines up nicely. I haven't discovered an easy way to make use of inline messages yet however.
