Well, you could use one-script forms like that:

$fs = &new Formsess(..);

if ($fs->wasSubmitted() && !$fs->hasErrors()) {
	doSomethingWithTheFormData();
	// and redirect to another page
} else {
	$smarty->display(myform.tpl);
}

Which 'loops' as long until there're no errors left and the form data is
processed.
No need for save at all anymore, since the smarty functions, executed
with display use getValue which directly reads from the form data. :-)

If you use different scripts for displaying the form and processing the
data, nothing would change at all. (except that you could use getValue()
before saving) You will still need to save() and reset().
