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...

Looked in the comments and found <a href="http://www.zend.com/zend/spotlight/mimocsumissions.php?article=mimocsumissions&kind=sl&id=6345&open=1&anc=0&view=1#notes" rel="nofollow">the same old story again</a>: "Well I searched all over the web and it is said that the problem is with html not allowing a redirect with post vars. The only solution I have found is to use javascript to post a dynamically generated form using <body onload="postform(formname)"> This works but requires the users browser to have javascript switched on. Sigh." Was about to start playing around with this and noticed in the code - it won’t FORWARD you to that page you need to submit the Post data to (in my case Paypal).

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.

The action would be processpayment.php then in processpayment.php you figure out what the value of the submit button was and based on that you can redirect to paypal if necessary, or else process the credit card payment yourself.

These buttons are on the product page. ie. They pick the product they want - on the product page they select how many they want - and then click a "buy now" type button... I wanted to reduce the number "steps" as much as possible, so a page after this asking them if they wanted to pay by credit card or paypal and then ANOTHER page (either paypal or the credit card payment info) wasn't something I wanted to do... If you have another way around it, I'm all ears... That would mean making them select payment type before they even see a product… These buttons are on the product page. ie.

My advice would be to let the user select the payment method before displaying the form and the display the appropriate form (PayPal or credit card) depending on his decision.
