Zend 1.12-Render individual form opening and closing tags

Though I am still looking for a workout of the same from zend function's.But still to get best of results I use following manually added code.

 <form action="<?php echo $this->form->getAction() ?>"  
    enctype="<?php echo $this->form->getEnctype() ?>"  
    method="<?php echo $this->form->getMethod() ?>"  
    id="<?php echo $this->form->getId() ?>"  
    class="<?php echo $this->form->getAttrib('class') ?>" >  
 </form>
