Not sure if this is what you mean but:

<form action="process page.php" method="post" name="form" target="_top"
id="form">
<input name="email" type="text" id="email" maxlength="80"< ?php echo(
isset( $_POST['email'] ) ) ? ' value="'.$_POST['email'].'"' : ''; ?>>
</form>

(3 lines actually, but google breaks 'em up ...)

One way is to do something like this:

form1.php displays the form and has <input> fields in it. The form has
an action - say form1.ctrl.php and will use the POST method.

form1.ctrl.php processes the $_POST array and saves the values into a
$_SESSION when an error occurs (along with an error message). It then
redirects to form1.php.

form1.php sees the values in the $_SESSION and puts them back into the
form <input> using the value="" argument.

You can use GET instead of PUT.
You can use GET instead of SESSION.

It really depends on what you need.
