You just want the ability to have the inputs pre-selected based on user
input? Shouldn't be hard by doing the same thing you did for the actual
form submit for each input.

Ex:
<input type="text" id="username" name="username" value="<?php echo
(isset($_POST['username']) ? $_POST['username'] : '';?>" />

You would do the same with radio/check/select, but in a different manner of
course.
