You are in serious need of some regex here...google email regex and you will
have enough results to get you what you want.
Postal Code (assume 2 letters 4 dgits in that order

As for pasting it back to the form, I would suggest you have the form as a
function and the processing code as a function, then you can pass the post
arrays back and forth and pass the error handling along with it
