unless you set$deep totrue

Where do you want to set$deep to true?

sorry, I missed your next PR. This comment is no longer true.

(fyi, I responded to "Unless you enable the error_bubbling option on a particular child form,getErrors() only returns the errors of the form it is accessed on.")

No problem. Now that I understand your concerns. :)

I think this note is a bit more abstract than I'd like. Here are the main points I'd like to say:

1. CallinggetErrors() on the main form object only returns global form errors
2. CallinggetErrors(true) will returnall of the form objects, but there's no way to know which field each is attached to
3. Calling$form['firstName']->getErrors() will return you errors for only thefirstName field
4. CallinggetErrorsAsString() is easy for debugging.

There are a lot of questions about form errors on stackoverflow etc. and don't think we have details anywhere currently. So I'd like to fully explain how to do what you want. The only unfortunate thing (I think there was an issue/PR about this) is thatgetErrors(true) doesn't return any way (as far as a I can see) to know which error is attached to which field.

Bah, nevermind - now I see that#4169 is here for the 2.5 features and that this is for 2.3.

So, obviously ignore (2), but I still think we should do 1, 3 and 4.

@xabbuh I see that you put#4169 on hold for this, so I came back. I think we should basically expand your code block to show 1, 3 and 4 in my above note, with a comment for each that says what they do:

// 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();// ... etc

... because nobody reads words, so let's show all the code right next to each other :)

friendly ping@xabbuh! :)

Sorry, now that I read this note more closely, I'm not sure I agree (or probably more likely, I'm not sure it's phrased correctly). Itsounds like you can seterror_bubbling totrue on the top-level form and then all the errors of the child fields will bubble up to it. But I don't think that's the case - it's set on a field, and then that field's error bubble to the form.

If I'm right, how about something like this:

If you enable theerror_bubbling option on a field, callinggetErrors() 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.

Thanks! And no worries about the delay - I'm catching up my self. And nice work with the above changes.
