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 ?>".
