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.

I think FormItem and FormHeading have to be in a Form but that's it.

Break the questions into logical groups, then put then in different sections
of the accordion.

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.
