Just for my own curiosity, I tried to implement your setup, and it is
correct, the select will be validated, but the error message will not
be displayed.
The reason may be that you are using:
$form->select('ProfileAttribute.gender', array('M' => 'Male', 'F' =>
'Female'), false, array('empty' => 'Please choose'));
instead of:
$form->input('ProfileAttribute.gender', array('empty' => 'Please
choose'));
where the last gets the option values from the controller set method.
Browsing through the form helper code, it seems to me, that the form
helper method select, does not concern itself with errors returned
from the validation. On the other hand, the form helper method input
does so.
Maybe you should consult your other code samples and confirm that you
are using the $form->select() and not the $form->input() to display
the select field!
Enjoy,
John
