Form Validation, validation->error_string not displaying

Can $this->validation->run() resolve to anything besides true or false (I assume it can't)? If not then it's largely inconsequential whether I check for true or false, and it doesn't affect readability at all (for me at least,I'm the only one maintaining the code for the site in question).

Anyway, the reloaded form should have this in it:

Code:

<?PHP echo $this->validation->error_string ?>

at the top of the form. I don't know what your view looks like; but I'd start there.

It does, just like the example I linked to in my first post. That's why I'm confused as to why I'm not seeing anything. I'll see if CI 1.7.0 helps.
