There isn't any $_FORM global variable in PHP.
Depending on how you redirect the person back to page a, you either use $_POST
or $_GET, when you don't know which method will be used, then use the
$_REQUEST global

Another method is to store values in a session, this way you don't have to
send anything with the redirect.

It's quite obvious that Tom made a typo, at least in my opinion, he meant
$_POST in both cases.
