I would have an input with a name that is translated to an array.
Have some javascript create the additional inputs...

<form action="something.php" method="post">
<input type="text" name="inputbox[]" value="" />
<input type="text" name="inputbox[]" value="" />
</form>

When this is posted, you can use a foreach loop to run through it. If
you use this method, be sure to check for empty values, because once
the form has been created, its added to the array, empty or not.

if(isset($_POST['inputbox'])){
echo "<h2>Output:</h2>";
echo "<ul>\n";
foreach($_POST['inputbox'] as $v){
echo (!empty($v)) ? "<li>{$v}</li>\n" : "";
}
echo "</ul>\n";
}
