I am new to PHP , and PayPal.
I need to do crowdfunding site.
Here I have a form where user can choose pay method :
Input with amount that user want to donate for project, and some fields like name, surname , phone etc.
Now action of my form is example.com/pay.php, here I register pay in my database with status "in progress" and i want after it to redirect user to PayPal page.
How to redirect user to PayPal with necessary data (see in PayPal button code) , after I add the transaction to my database?
Code of of my PayPal button:
<form action="https://www.sandbox.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr" method="post" target="_top">
