Not sure exactly what you need but I noticed you need to add spaces or your forms will be rendered wrong:

$form .= '<input type="text"' . 'name="credential"' . 'size="40">' . '<br/><br/>';
$form .= '<input name="submit2"' . 'type="submit"' . 'value="Submit" />';

Should be:

$form .= '<input type="text" ' . 'name="credential" '  . 'size="40" />' . '<br/><br/>';
$form .= '<input name="submit2" ' . 'type="submit" ' . 'value="Submit" />';

I don't really see why you would want to split them up like that in the first place.
