Well, in PHP, you can use $_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER']. However, unless your
Web server is configured to treat form.html as a PHP script (which I
seriously doubt is the case), you will not have access to this information
at that point. So, you can't do what you're describing wihout the original
POST request (xy.html -> form.html) being to a PHP resource rather than an
HTML one.
Hope that helps.
