In CakePHP 2.x, FormHelper::inputs doesn't make buttons. It makes input
elements. If you want a button, try using FormHelper::submit for a submit
button, or in this case FormHelper::button as in:
echo $this->Form->button('Cancel upload',
array('type' => 'reset',
'class' => 'btn btn-warning cancel')
);
HTH!
