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.
