return post data on server side validation failure

Question

I have a large registration form and if a user makes any mistake and failed on server side validation then how could I show up the fields which were previously correct.

How can I send the post data back to the registration form?

How does the server respond to an invalid form? What exactly is returned? Is the validation happening on submitting the form or are you sending the data via AJAX? — Lix, Sep 24 '13 at 12:24
no I'm not using any `ajax`. The form is just submitted using `post` request. snippet: `

Store the POST values in session on your action page. In your html check if session value exists and then echo that. Expire the session once you are clear with server side validation.

if(isset($_POST['submit']))
{

   }
}    

<input size="10" type="text" value="<?php echo $_POST['myvalue1']; ?> name="camp_click_value" id="xyz" />
