A Brief Introduction to Zend Form
Example Registration Form - Standalone

* Here's where I'm setting the options for the interests checkboxes and
* the referral select element.
*
* Notice that I'm using Zend_Form's fluid interface to add the
* Zend_Validate_InArray validator to each element
*
* The use of array_merge and array_combine is one of my tricks and tips
* from my Zend_Form_Element_Multi - Tips and Tricks blog post (http://bit.ly/bEZl37)
