I have a 2 step website registration for my WordPress website.
BEGIN EDIT
The first step/form is a front end verification form plugin I have built that checks a custom_table to verify the visitor is a part of the custom_table.
The second step/form is a frontend registration form plugin I have built which I have used the same "name" on 3 of the fields as in the first form as well as echoed the first forms input fields in the value of the second forms input fields.
END EDIT
What I am trying to do is have the form data from 3 fields in the first form populate the 3 fields in the second form.
I tried adding the second url to the action area of the form and matched up the names of the form which did successfully populate the data to the second form however when doing this my validation stopped working on the first form. As such I have scrapped that idea.
I have now also edited the code to reflect the changes I have made with hwl's comments below and would love further insight as now I am seeing the validation script is working but when you enter the successful information the form is still not loading the information on the second page. But no Fatal Errors either so that's a good thing lol.

Question How can I get the user_login, first_name & last_name entries from the first form to populate the second form without losing the step 1 validation code? Please provide an example if possible.
<?php echo $_POST['first_name']; ?>etc. alsoactionis<?php echo $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']; ?>, so it is posting to itself basically.
