You could use ajax to send the data to yourself and the have the form
submit itself as it normally would. Or you could have PHP take the
data that was resubmitted to it, create a new HTTP request based on
that, and then send the request to paypal or where-ever.

Alternatively, PayPal is supposed to it's own API which, although I've
never examined it, myself, should probably answer all your questions.
