Don't do that.
:-)

More specifically, no browser is required to provide HTTP_REFERER, so
that value is completely un-reliable.

If, for some reason, your application NEEDS the preceding page, you'll
need to track it in the URL, or in their session, or through some
mechanism that YOU control.

Rule #1:
Never, ever, ever, trust the browser.
Or the guy/gal/bot using it, for that matter.

Hope that helps, even if it's *so* not what you wanted to hear.
