There are many different ways to do this ...
1. Have the same PHP script that validates generate the login page.
This way the script always has the correct data and you don't need to
pass anything.
2. Header("Location: login.php?err=$err&user=$user&pass=$pass");
This will work, but the bad password will be visible in the query string.
3. Start a session at the login page and register the variables you
need to use on the login page.
