I collect all the POST data into variables. In the HTML area I have the
values of the fields set to those variables. I also have the form post to
itself and do a header() command to change pages on success.

An example might be a text field "city". In the html area I would have
<input type="text" name="city" value="<?php echo $city; ?>"> where $city is
the value of the obtained from the post of that field.

This may not be the best way, but it sure works.
