This is a bluehost question posted by cat00x on 08 September 2008

This may be way beyond my expertise, but I’ll at least ask before I go off and look to pay our guy to do it.

We have a site here that asks people to become members. We are using a form with php. When you click the submit button, the form gets mailed to 4 people and then the person is directed to a payment page where they can select one of 3 PayPal buttons. We are getting a lot of “false” membership forms, so want to discourage that by requiring the people to pay in order for the form to be submitted. Can this happen using the setup we are currently using? It looks like if you hit the PayPal button, you are directed to Pay Pal, and the information we require will not be forwarded as we need it to be. Is there a way to ask the “pay button” to perform 2 actions, 1) send the form to the 4 addresses, and 2) go to PayPal?
