Here are the fields that I use a lot in stuff like this:

first_name
last_name
company
address
address2
city
county
state
zip
country
phone
fax
email
cell
pager
sex
birth_date
profession

You'll need to add a config array to the config file like:

array(
   'first_name' = REQUIRED,
   'last_name' = REQUIRED,
   'company' = TRUE,
   'address' = TRUE,
   'address2' = TRUE,
   'city' = TRUE,
   'county' = FALSE,
   'state' = TRUE,
   'zip' = REQUIRED,
   'country' = FALSE,
   'phone' = FALSE,
   'fax' = FALSE,
   'email' = REQUIRED,
   'cell' = FALSE,
   'pager' = FALSE,
   'sex' = FALSE,
   'birth_date' = FALSE,
   'profession' = FALSE
)

you'd have to define the REQUIRED constant (I'd suggest something like 
-1 since TRUE =1 and FALSE =0). FALSE fields are skipped (for 
everything), TRUE and REQUIRED fields are the only ones displayed.

When a form is posted, check against the config array to be sure all is 
satisfied. Push warnings for FALSE fields that were in the input, and 
errors for missing required fields.

The form coding should make use of the VALUE, CHECKED and SELECTED 
attributes where values are taken from the posted information in case of 
error. The values for these attributes need to be checked agains 
submitted information to avoid warnings about non-defined variables.

Hope this helps out. I've been just too damn busy to do much of anything 
anymore. :(
