Multiple forms inside a foreach - php

Question

I have a foreach that show many forms with the same action ending with diferente id's.
But, the tag <form> just appears in the first form. All others, the fields appears, but don't the <form>
I tried to put the id for the form different in the loop. But doesn't work.
The code:
<?php echo $this->Form->create(null, array(
'url' => array('controller' => 'menus', 'action' => 'aprovar', $procuracao['Attorney']['id']), 'id' => $procuracao['Attorney']['id']
)); ?>
<div class="control-group">
<label class="control-label">Alçada:</label>
<div class="controls">
<?php echo $this->Form->input ('alcada', array('type' => 'select', 'label' => FALSE, 'options' => array(
'Até 10.000' => 'Até 10.000',
'Até 50.000' => 'Até 50.000',
'Acima de 100.000' => 'Acima de 100.000',
'Acima de 500.000' => 'Até 500.000',),
'empty' => 'Selecione')); ?>
</div>
</div>
<div class="control-group">
<label class="control-label">Validade:</label>
<div class="controls">
<?php echo $this->Form->input('validade', array('label' => FALSE, 'type' => 'text')); ?>
</div>
</div>
<?php echo $this->Form->submit('Ok', array('class' =>'btn btn-success pull-left', 'div' => false)); ?>
</div>
The field "Alçada" and "Validade" appears correctly. But the tag <form> just appears in the first element.

You are not ending the form.
echo $this->Form->create(null, array(
'id' => 'your-form-'.$i, //that $i is the index of the foreach, for example
'url' => array('controller' => 'menus', 'action' => 'aprovar', $procuracao['Attorney']['id']), 'id' => $procuracao['Attorney']['id']
));
//all inputs and other stuff
echo $this->Form->end(array('label'=>'Ok', 'class' =>'btn btn-success pull-left', 'div' => false));
all that inside the foreach you're using.
Here is the reference of that function in the docs. But basically, it does this
Closes an HTML form, cleans up values set by FormHelper::create(), and
writes hidden input fields where appropriate
