View in frontend

    use yii\widgets\ActiveForm;
    ...
?>
    
<h3>Feedback</h3>
<?php $form = ActiveForm::begin(); ?>
<?= Yii::$app->forms->build($form, 'feedback-form'); ?>
<?= Html::submitButton('Submit') ?>
<?php ActiveForm::end(); ?>
...

<h3>Callback</h3>
<?php $form = ActiveForm::begin(); ?>
<?= Yii::$app->forms->build($form, 'сallback-form'); ?>
<?= Html::submitButton('Submit') ?>
<?php ActiveForm::end(); ?>

Action in Controller

<?php
    if (!is_null($result = Yii::$app->forms->submit('feedback-form', $data))) {
        if ($result === true) {
            Yii::$app->session->setFlash('success', 'Your Feedback form successfully submitted!');
        } else {
            Yii::$app->session->setFlash('danger', 'An error occurred while sending the Feedback form.');
        }
    }
?>

<?php
    echo Nav::widget([
    'options' => ['class' => 'navbar-nav navbar-right'],
        'label' => 'Modules',
        'items' => [
            Yii::$app->getModule('forms')->dashboardNavItems(),
            ...
        ]
    ]);
?>
