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.
