Form Submission based on PHP IF Statement
I have an html form that I have used javascript and PHP to validate. I need to submit the results of the form via email to my client, and redirect the user to PayPal for payment. It is a tournament entry form.
In the process page, I have a section that basically looks for a VALID FORM, and if that condition is met, sends the email to my client, and I need it to process the PayPal form with the variables for payment. There is no specific "click action" here, so I don't think onclick is the way to go here. However, my javascript knowledge is weak.
Looking at the code snippet below, how would you get this form to submit if ($valid_form) returns TRUE?

// check if form is valid
if ($valid_form)
{
// create message
$message = "Name: " . $form['name'] . "\n";
$message .= "Phone: " . $form['phone'] . "\n";
$message .= "Address: " . $form['address'] . "\n";
$message .= "City: " . $form['city'] . "\n";
$message .= "State: " . $form['state'] . "\n";
$message .= "Zip Code: " . $form['zipCode'] . "\n";
$message .= "Email Address: " . $form['email'] . "\n\n";
$headers = "From: WEST PARK LANES Online Tournament Entry <webmaster@westparklanes.com>\r\n";
$headers .= "X-Sender: <webmaster@westparklanes.com>\r\n";
$headers .= "X-Mailer: PHP/". phpversion() ."\r\n";
$headers .= "Reply-To: " . $form['email'];
// send email
mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers);
// payPal Redirect
?>
<!-- send the PayPal form -->

In the browser point of view, it doesn't knows the form before receive the tag <form>, so you need to place the script after the <form>.

As I already said, I'm weak at javascript, but trying to learn.
Your solution worked awesomely.
