if you have form "action" field left blank, you shouldn't do any redirect. form is send to the same page where it is originated from. so you only need to chech validity, print some errors if needed and display the correct values in <input> boxes.

ok this is simple. we can approach this multiple ways. one way you can do is by using the header function which works as a redirecter, but this will not pass any variables back to the original page. so you can add a ?varname=var&varname2=var2 at the end of the url. another way you can do this is by using cookies or sessions but lets just keep it simple.

example:
//code code code
header("Location: originalpage.php?varname=var&varname2=var2");

hope this helps you out.
