How hard is #1?  I have two situations that I have to handle in this 
manner (one with two forms and one with two submits of the same form 
and then the second form, to check if user account exists). Can you 
point me to some examples?

> 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.
