As far as the php goes... A good solution would be to use amfphp or
some kind of remoting using RemoteObject. Simply great a method in
your php and call it in your Flex app. To go even further you can
create two identical classes, one in php and one in actionscript and
have them become aliased objects, these are called vo's.

So, I'm wondering about some other ways of wrapping and presenting all
of this.
1) The form tag is required, is it not? And the FormItem tag? I know
there are other layout options but there must be these tags, or am I
mistaken?
Um, required for what? The form/formitem/formheading elements are
AFAIK just there to give you some easy graphical structure for a
form type screen. That's it.
2) Assuming that is true, then all the fields, labels, form elements
and the submit button must be inside the same Form tag, correct?
I think FormItem and FormHeading have to be in a Form but that's it.
3) If the form is long, how would I use either Accordion features, or
view states or something else to allow easier presentation of
different segments of the form? In other words, I don't want this
going on for 20+ items, including TextAreas, as that could be long.
Break the questions into logical groups, then put then in different
sections of the accordion.
Lastly, would ColdFusion work better with this than PHP?
While I'm a ColdFusion programmer professionally, I'm certain that
you can do what you want with PHP. I'm unclear of the methods
available to PHP to pipe data back and forth (other than
HTTPService, which would treat your PHP page as a webservice I
think). There are some neat things that you can do with CF and the
Flash Remoting capabilities that Adobe has built for it but I don't
see that those would be requirements for what you've set out here.
