The Form->end() don’t display the button.
Use echo $this->Form->button('Next step') and echo $this->Form->end()

i try adding button but the error stays.

what other thing should i try?
when i live the
<?= $this->Form->end();?> empty it ridrects me always to index

when i add $this->Form->end('Next step') the same error raises

You based your code on an example from 2012 and Cake 2.
Version 3 don’t have same methods.

The problem is not the view or form, it’s the logic.
try to debug your vars, sessions, etc and write new code for Cake3 by inspiring you of the example, not copy/paste it.
