    For regular input fields I use
    
<input name="checkEmail"  type="text" value="<?php echo $_POST['checkEmail'];?>" maxlength="255" />
    Code (markup):
    But for an image upload this doesn't work
    
<input type="file" name="photo" id="file" value="<?php echo $_POST['photo'];?>"/>
    Code (markup):
    How do I set input field photo to the chosen file path???

    That will never work.

    I suggest you research how file uploading is actually carried out. For one thing, the client-side file path is never sent.

    it's wrong - you need to analize and convert you post variabled.
    Some symbols will be quoted and you will got an error.
    For image create tmp file and make a link to it, and keep in session about downloaded file also.
