Something like this, I believe:
<?php
// Code to check validity of data.
if (everything valid) {
// code to process data
// redirect to new page
} else {
// Set error messages for individual data elements.
}
?>
<html>
<form>
<input 1>
<?php if ($errorMsg1 != "") print $errorMsg1 ?>
<input 2>
<?php if ($errorMsg2 != "") print $errorMsg2 ?>
...
</html>
