uploading form data then submitting form to payment site

Hi all

Can anyone tell me how to submit a form to update its contents to a db
and then from the page the form is submitted to then submit another
form which is the payment processing data for a site such as paypal?

At the moment im having to have users submit the form and then click a
button on successful submission to take them through to payment
processing and i would like to streamline this process to just require
the submission of the details form.

kind regards

marc

You could use ajax to send the data to yourself and the have the form
submit itself as it normally would. Or you could have PHP take the
data that was resubmitted to it, create a new HTTP request based on
that, and then send the request to paypal or where-ever.

Alternatively, PayPal is supposed to it's own API which, although I've
never examined it, myself, should probably answer all your questions.

This one seems pretty good:

Knowing a bit about how HTTP works helps, as well.

Never use ajax or depend on client posting for payment related
things. You may try "Post2Host" scripts for posting via PHP. Always
there could be easier way to fix any issues; recheck your architecture.

CURL is an option here.

I am trying to connect an e-commerce system to a payment gateway (located in Hong Kong).

I have a form that opens. On this form there is information along with a button that opens a payment form. The payment form opens and I enter a payment type, cash check or charge, a payment number like the cc number or check number, and the amount of the payment. I have a button on this form that when clicked adds the payment to a table via a sql statement in vba which works fine.
