I have developed a website for a client where a user fills in their contact info and then clicks a Paypal "Buy Now" button. The client went into his Paypal account and created the "Buy Now" button and gave me the code for it. Looks like a basic form with a couple hidden variables. Now I simply want to enter the user info from the form on my page into my database before(or after, whichever is easier) the user gets taken to Paypal to enter their payment. I am using PHP for this. I figured I could have the Paypal button redirect to an intermediate PHP page that I create that first enters all the info into my DB and then automatically submits the form and hidden variables to Paypal. There is probably an easier way to do this using Paypal's API. I tried reading through some of the docs, but there is so many options, I'm not sure which one would be right for my situation. For instance, the Board dropdown below, I wasn't even sure which option to select. And I'm assuming I would have to have my client set it all up from his Paypal account? Walking him through it might prove to be kind of difficult. Any help would be much apprecatiated. Thanks Mike
