I am creating a large, 5 page employment application form and I am running into a problem with the number of fields being loaded into the back-end. When I am editing the form, the large size of the form throws my server for a tailspin and gives me a 500 server error.
Specifics of the server:
Linux Business Hosting package with 1and1.com
PHP Version 5.4.26
PHP Setup in PHP.ini:
upload_max_filesize = 40M
post_max_size = 40M
max_input_vars = 2000
php_value max_execution_time = 60
memory_limit = 256m
max_input_time = 9000
Joomla 3.2.3
ChronoForms 5.v
I have been able to isolate this to be a problem with the server either timing out or rejecting the data that is being loaded to the form editor. when I back up the form to my local computer, the closer I get to 110KB for the backup file size seems to be the trigger for the 500 error. Have you seen this issue before?
What I was really wondering is if there is a way to add a "Add another School" or "Add another Employer" button to my Education and Employment pages of the form that would add multiple fields to the form so I am not having to duplicate fields multiple times. This would reduce the number of fields in the editing as well as make the form lighter for my system. Also the results of this form need to be simply email to the applicant as well as the administrator of the site so the array of the Education and Employment wound need to be outputted into the email section of the setup.
Am I asking a little too much or is this fairly simple to do? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi Gorf,
About how many fields does your form have ?

Currently there are:
5 page containers
20 text fields
6 custom fields with instructional text as well as page headers
1 capatcha
5 buttons
7 radio groups
1 single checkbox
1 check group
2 tab areas containers both with 2 tab containers
So I would say somewhere around 50 specific form areas not counting the setup code that runs it all.

I forgot to mention that I have squeezed a few more fields into the form by changing the field name and field ID to something a little shorter
Ex: text1 to t1, textarea1 to ta1 and so on. all in all it gave me about 5 more fields but that is included in the 50.
If you like I can upload a backup of the form so you can take a look at it. It is by no means done and needs to have the email function updated and completed, but until I can fix the issue with the size then I can not really continue any further.

Thanks for the feedback, I'm currently investigating the issue and will let you know when a solution is available, please give me few hours.
