well, the easiest way, is on page b, just go 'hey that's an invalid
email addy, use yer back button and fix it' The values that they typed
should be there.
Or, you could have the page A submit to itself.
if ($_POST['submit'] == 'submit'){
//do your validation
}
if (($validation == 'error')OR($_POST['submit'] != 'submit'){
//display the form
// <input type='text' name='email' value='<?php echo $_POST['email']
?>'>
}
else{
// do whatever, validation is passed
}
