The FormHelper also includes an end() method that completes the form markup. Often, end() only outputs a closing form tag, but using end() also allows the FormHelper to insert needed hidden form elements other methods may be depending on.

<?php echo $form->create(); ?>
 
<!-- Form elements go here -->
 
<?php echo $form->end(); ?>

1. <?php echo $form->create(); ?>
3. <!-- Form elements go here -->
5. <?php echo $form->end(); ?>

If a string is supplied as the first parameter to end(), the FormHelper outputs a submit button named accordingly along with the closing form tag.

<?php echo $form->end('Finish'); ?>
 

1. <?php echo $form->end('Finish'); ?>

Will output:

 
<div class="submit">
    <input type="submit" value="Finish" />
</div>
</form>

You can specify detail settings by passing an array to end().

<?php 
$options = array(
    'name' => 'Update',
    'label' => 'Update!',
    'div' => array(
        'class' => 'glass-pill',
    )
);
echo $form->end($options);

1. <?php
2. $options = array(
3. 'name' => 'Update',
4. 'label' => 'Update!',
5. 'div' => array(
6. 'class' => 'glass-pill',
7. )
8. );
9. echo $form->end($options);

Will output:

<div class="glass-pill"><input type="submit" value="Update!" name="Update"></div>
