You will not have a form-based login whenever you use "Basic Authentication",
neither in Zope nor with PHP.

The reason is that HTTP's basic authentication is a client feature.
The client pops up a dialog to obtain login information that
it later includes in HTTP requests.
The server can not control this dialog.
