So basically the form data is submitted to one Mailer page (I have no control over the mailer program). -After the form has been submitted the mailer program redirects to a default page or the "return " page specified by me..again redirects no matter what I have no control over it... -Now instead of being redirected to a page I want the form contents to be submitted to another php page which will appear after the form has been submitted to the mailer page and display the contents of the form originally submitted. Basically I want to submit to 2 different pages I know thats possible but I do not know how to get around the redirection from mailer page. I thought of having the second php page to be the redirect page with all form data sent in query string however data fields are too many to send over get. Is there anyway around this in javascript? Its very complex to explain..I hope some one can help I hope following crude visualisation helps currently submit form to------------->Mailer page (It redirects to any page specified) form to | | |------->Page2.php (Want this to appear after form has been submitted to mailer page but mailer page redirects..)

I came across this looking for...A way to have a form submitted to two different pages aswell.. however with my situation I need one submit to go to the same page as the form and the other submit to go to another one so serverside may not work for me. I will probably have to hack it. But what don't we have to hack these days. Def go with php solution for this. I do not have time to write an example but if u use your brain you'll think of something. I would use the same js functions only in php that way you don't need the users browsers to have JS enabled..

I tried his code exactly, and the best I get is forwarded to paypals main site - but not their shopping cart page like you would if you submited the form...

I'll give that a whirl and see if it does the trick! :) (After I finish fighting with my shopping cart project. LOL) Thanks!

Anything I've seen suggests sending it to a form that auto submits itself (with javascript)... which doesn't solve the problem of trying to create a form that doesn't need it. :) Well, here's the thing, I'm not 100% sure, but I believe that Paypal needs that information sent to it as "POST" – and as far as I can tell, there's no way to submit POST header information WITHOUT submitting a form.
