Why don't you make this into a multi-step wizard-like form instead of 
one long thing?  This would solve your problem, and add the additional 
functionality -- such as going back and making changes to sections.

After each submit, you can update your session with information.  For a 
nice example of how this would work (note: its php5, but the concept is 
the same) check out the Rental Wizard[1] demo that uses Prado.
