You can submit pages to a url without using forms. there are several
ways. check Snoopy class from sourceforge.net. but this is not an
efficient way, because there are lot of redirection and responses and
header informations with the payment gateway.
Instead you should create a "confirmation" page. After submitting all
the details of the form, php should then process it and create a
"confirmation" page which the user has to again click to "confirm" the
action. then the variables go to paypal via browser.
