Thanks Crisses. Surprizing you can't get the form name in php...  But
I did find a work around that was acutally easier.  I used the random
number used in authentication as the name for the session variable,
tweaked the code to work slightly different, and it solved the problem
perfectly.  Now you can have multiple ZAP forms on a page (and unless
they just happen to be assigned the same random number... there's no
problem).

Thanks again.  If someone does have a way to get the form name though
it would eliminate the 1 in 100000 possibility of a form clash...  : )
