+Returns a validation error message from the :doc:`Form Validation Library
+<../libraries/form_validation>`, associated with the specified field name.
+You can optionally specify opening and closing tag(s) to put around the error
+message.
+
+Example::
+
+	// Assuming that the 'username' field value was incorrect:
+	echo form_error('myfield', '<div class="error">', '</div>');
+
+	// Would produce: <div class="error">Error message associated with the "username" field.</div>
