Hello:

Thank you for the reply. I like your alternative approach. I actually thought about this option as well. As I was thinking about it, I thought I might run into a bit of a problem with PayPal.

On the first form, the user would fill out all the event information. They will click submit and takes them to a second form where they select the payment option.

I set all the parameters for event charge to this button. When the user clicks the PayPal button, it will link them directly to PayPal and PayPal will take care of the rest.

My question: In my script, if a person chooses the PayPal route, is it possible to include the PayPal button that I create (as mentioned above)? This button will have a direct link to PayPal. Will the script actually direct me to PayPal? I thought that I had to do the PayPal transaction outside the Perl script.

Thank you for your time.
