Try using frames. I can complicate programming, but the results can be
rewarding. Use one framefor data entry, and submit it to the other frame
where the data is shown.

Also, you can collect the data entered in PHP arrays and pass it around,
without bugging the database. When all data is entered, user can click
the Save button (or whatever) and then do the insertions in database.
PHP works really! fast by itself (when no reading/writing to database is
done) so these refreshes are instantaneous.

Of course, it all depends of your application.
