The usual way is to do 1) and 2) on the same page, i.e. submit the form
to itself. This makes it very easy to validate the input and simply show
the form again if something's wrong and missing, together with some
error message. Then the user can directly fix the mistakes and submit
again. If all is fine, the form script processes the data and shows the
confirmation page or redirects to one.

This has _nothing_ to do with your form problem.
