Simple.

if($_POST['password'] !== $_POST['cpassword']) {
    header("location:index.php")
} else {
    mysql_query("INSERT INTO user VALUES('','$username','$password')") or die(mysql_error());
}

 if(isset($_POST['add']))
{
        $username=$_POST['username'];
        $password=$_POST['password'];
        if ($_POST['password']!= $_POST['cpassword'])
        {
        echo("Password did not match! Try again. ");
        }
        else
        {
        mysql_query("INSERT INTO user VALUES('','$username','$password')") or die(mysql_error());
       }

To only check after post you can do this. 

if(isset($_POST['add']))
{
    $username=mysql_real_escape_string($_POST['username']);
    $password=mysql_real_escape_string($_POST['password']);

   if($_POST['password'] == $_POST['cpassword'])
     mysql_query("INSERT INTO user VALUES('','$username','$password')") or die(mysql_error());
   else
      //create error message

 }

But it would be better to check before posting. Also NEVER insert unsanitized data into your database! ever! Plus others will tell you so i might as well mention mysql is deprecated, check out mysqli instead.
