Hey guys I have a little problem.
I need 2 actions in 1 form.
the one action is on my own side (I want to insert sth. in a database) and the other action takes you to a payment system.
Somebody knows how to do this?

Typical recommended approach would be:

1. Form is submitted to your page with custom logic. ( insert necessary data into db etc)
2. Page validates data, if validation fails - displays form again with validation errors
3. If data are OK - saves necessary data into db and issues 301 redirect to some "navigate to payment engine" page
Redirect is recommended to avoid form resubmitting if user presses reload page.
4. "Navigate to payment engine" page might include form markup with fields expected by payment engine + JavaScript code to submit form once page is loaded. It is good idea to show submit button on this form as well. Text could be "press here if you are not navigated to payment engine in 5 seconds"
