---------------------------------------------
<form action=thisscript.php method=get>
<? php

$list = array (var1, var2, var3...);
foreach ($list as $item) { $$item = $_GET ["$item"]; }

if ( $var1 == "" ) {
do xyz - build textbox(var1) ...;
}

if ( $var2 ... } {
reload textbox1(var1) - create box2(var2) ...;
}

etc;
?>
<input type=submit value=Submit>
</form>
----------------------------------------------

Just have the script call itself.
if var1 == null create textbox-1
else recreate box1 from var1 & if var2 == null create box2
else box1, box2 create box3
else box1, box2, box3, create box4.........
