I am trying to recursively send data to the same form.

What is the best practice for doing this?
I don't know what the "best" practice is, but this is the way I do it.
In the form I have a hidden field called step that controls flow via POST..
Based upon that value, I use a switch to direct the flow to different
forms -- all the forms have the same submit button.
So, it looks like this (pseudo-code):
$step = isset($_POST['step']) ? $_POST['step'] : 1;
<form action=self method=post>
switch $step
{
case 1:
// present the form for step 1
<input hidden step=2>
case 2:
// present the form for step 2
<input hidden step=3>
case 3:
// present the form for step 3
}
<input type=submit name=submit type=submit>
That way, it's simple to recursively change a form to gather information.
If you want to keep/store data in each gather, then either save it to
a dB or do sessions.
It works for me.
Cheers,
