Once the values of the form have been processed, assign them to session 
variables, which will survive from page to page so long as the session 
has not been unset or destroyed. On each page set $someformvar = 
$_SESSION['someformvarvalue']. The fields in the form can be populated 
with the value of the session variables using something like 
value="<?php echo $someformvar ?>".
