One way would be to do an ajax call to submit the form #1 data to your
database, then upon acknowledgment of success, do a regular form submit
to payal (I'm guessing the user is supposed to be redirected to paypal
to complete the transaction).
The other way would be to do a regular submit, pass all the info (paypal
also) to a second php page, which processes the form #1 data then does a
redirect to paypal. You could add the paypal info in the url (not so
nice) or paste it into a form as hidden variables, then do a javascript
<body onLoad="document.mypaypalform.submit()"> so that the form is
automatically submitted on page load. For maximum non-javascript
compatibility, you should include a <input type="submit" value="Click
here to continue"> in the form.

I have a PHP page with two forms. One form posts the form data and
inserts it into the database. The second form contains Paypal hidden
variables and passes the transaction to the Paypal site. This has to
happen seamlessly with one button and I can't combine the two forms as
Paypal form has standard format for their form...
How to do this? Can I call the second form submit programmatically at
the end of the first form submit in PHP? Or with Javascript on the
second form submit call the first form to be submitted?
