Easiest way is to set an error and throw everything into the session.
if(error)
{
$_SESSION['is_error'] = TRUE;
$_SESSION['post'] = $_POST;
}
Then on your form page, check for $_SESSION['is_error'], and if it's true...
$_POST = $_SESSION['post'];
and use $_POST to repopulate your form (or just pull the values directly
from $_SESSION).
