Use several smaller forms and store the results of each into a session variable.
Also store a "got-results-for-form-1" (through 7) that gets set for each of the 7 forms. Once all 7 are set you can do the final processing. Set the action of each form to say "save.php" and pass in a "saving_what" field". save.php can then do a switch on the saving_what field to determine what needs checking/storing/etc. Works good for me.
