Help needed with event registration form/PayPal/Email results

Hi folks,

I'm trying to create a registration form for an event my client is hosting
and I'm having a bit of a problem. I'm hoping someone can help out here.

Ideally the flow should look like this:
1. User fills out the form
2. Validation (obviously)
3. When validated the form is submitted to email
4. The user is redirected to PayPal to pay for the registration fee (and
any associated costs for rooms, etc.)

I'd rather not deal with database integration at this point since it would
mean something else I need to learn before the job gets done. I'd like to
use the webbot for submitting the form by email (or some other behind the
scenes mailing, although I don't know what I would use). What I can't figure
out is how to get the PayPal redirect working.

Is there a way to pass the variables that PayPal needs to the confirmation
page and use the confirmation page as a form for PayPal?

Is there a way to have one page submit to both the webbot and to PayPal?

I am using FrontPage 2002. I know my server has php and ASP capabilities,
but I've never used them before.

Thanks for any assistance you can provide!

You can't mix have using the FP Form Handler process the form and also integrating PayPal. However
you can set up the process to use the PayPal Shopping Cart, which would then send you a email once
the order has been completed.
