How about encoding all form widgets with
form_row info, including an action widget/s for each
row.  (a select with an "Ignore" or "Skip" option selected
by default works for me).

You can encode the widget names to allow
grouping by table_row_action, pretty much anything.

Explode each widget key and set up a multidimensional
associative array.

One submit button will process the whole form.

If it's a dynamic form, create a unique name for it and create
a plain text tmp file using the form name.

Write copies of your auto-generated form widget names
to the tmp file.

As someone else said, if the tmp file doesn't exist when
the form is submitted, then the form has already been processed.

When you process the form, compare the widget names
from the form to the widget names in the tmp file.

If they don't match exactly, it's a form error.

Of course all the usual validation needs to be done as well...

After the form is processed, delete the tmp file.
