php codeigniter message

Hi you have to the following thing if you use

<?php echo validation_errors();?>

this will print all error in one place if you want to print each field with its own error then use this

<? echo form_input('field_name').br().form_error('field_name') ?>

if you are using multi language site then put your all error message in language files

please read form validation doc for complete understanding
