As you post the page, set the values you post in session variables e.g.

<?php $_SESSION['name'] = $_POST['name']; ?>

Then in your input fields, check to see if the session is set & if so they display that. e.g.

<input type="text" name="name" value="<?php if (isset($_SESSION['name'])) { echo $_SESSION['name']; } " />

Make sure you start a session on each page you want to use them on!

<?php start_session; ?>
