+Accessing Form Errors
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+You can use the :method:`Symfony\\Component\\Form\\FormInterface::getErrors`
+method to access the list of errors. Each element is a :class:`Symfony\\Component\\Form\\FormError`
+object::
+
+    $form = ...;
+
+    // ...
+
+    // an array of FormError objects, but only errors attached to this form level (e.g. "global errors)
+    $errors = $form->getErrors();
+
+    // an array of FormError objects, but only errors attached to the "firstName" field
+    $errors = $form['firstName']->getErrors();
+
+    // a string representation of all errors of the whole form tree
+    $errors = $form->getErrorsAsString();
+
+.. note::
+
+    If you enable the :ref:`error_bubbling <reference-form-option-error-bubbling>`
+    option on a field, calling ``getErrors()`` on the parent form will include
+    errors from that field. However, there is no way to determine which field
+    an error was originally attached to.
