The way I always tend to do something like this is as follows:

$errors = false;
if(isset($_REQUEST['submit']))
{
    // process form here
    // if it doesn't validate $errors to true

    // you can either redirect here, or display the confirmation message
}
if(!isset($_REQUEST['submit']) || $errors)
{
    // display form
    // if $errors is true populate the form with user submitted data
}
