I'd like to see your code. For 'just' one-to-many problems, there is the following approach: Give multiple input-fields with variable phonenumber[] (including the []). On processing the form you'll have the array phonenumber that you can walk through with each(). The easiest way for an update-form is to give a number of extra phonenumber[] fields, and on processing the update delete all the associated phonenumbers connected to the record and insert them from the form.
