Another way to do it is by triggering a method in your model from your
function, like so:

Controller
<?php
class UsersController extends AppController
{
        function join()
        {
                if(empty($this->data))
                {
                }
                else
                {
                        $this->cleanUpFields();
                        // make sure no one has this email address
                        $count = $this->User->findCount(array('email' => 
$this->data['User']
['email']));
                        if($count)
                        {
                                $this->User->invalidate('emailtaken'); #### 
notice the emailtaken
key ###
                                $this->Session->setFlash('Um... something 
happened. Check
below.');
                        }
                        else
                        {
                                ... create the user stuff here
                        }
                }
        }
}
?>
The View

                        <div class="row">
                                <div class="field">
                                        <?php echo 
$form->labelTag('User/email', 'Email Address');?>
                                        <span><?php echo 
$html->input('User/email',
array('class'=>'text2'));?></span>
                                        <?php echo 
$html->tagErrorMsg('User/email', 'Please enter your
Email Address.');?>
                                        <?php echo 
$html->tagErrorMsg('User/emailtaken', 'This email
address already exists.');?> <!-- This will be displayed -->
                                </div>
                        </div>

The $this->Model->invalidate('field'); will trigger the $html-
>tagErrorMsg() with the same name as the 'field' given to the
invalidate() method.

Hope this helps.
