You can use the HTTP_REFERRER, but i wouldn't depend on it, it isn't a
required header for the client.
what you prolbably should do is when the arn't logged int, you can send
them to something like:
header('location: login.php?next=a.php');
Then on your login form add a hidden variable:
<input type="hidden" name="next" value="<?echo $_GET['next']?>">
Finally when the user submits this form, and the user logs in
successfully you know that you need to redirect them to the a.php.
