Here is how I do what it sounds like you want to do.
Simply serialize your POST array, i.e., $saved_post= serialize($_post)and save it [a file or session buffer, whatever]
if you are instigating a new page; if not, you have the post array saved.
Then when you want to repopulate the form, simply unserialize($saved_post) and fill in your <inputs..> etc. from the
array.
