Submit two forms with one button

Question

I have HTML two forms, one that submits data upon entry to a database using PHP, the other directs the user to a paypal payment page, my problem is that the user would have to submit both forms which of course I do not want them to have to do. Is there anyway to use one submit button for two forms?

(Javascript is welcome)

Answer 1

if you want to submit two forms with one button you need to do this:

1- use setTimeout()

2- allow show pop up

<script>
function myFunction() {
setTimeout(function(){ document.getElementById("form1").submit();}, 3000);   
setTimeout(function(){ document.getElementById("form2").submit();}, 6000);   
}
</script>
<form  target="_blank" id="form1">
<input type="text">
<input type="submit">
</form>
<form target="_blank" id="form2">
<input type="text">
<input type="submit">
</form>

javascript doesn't submit two forms at the same time. we submit two forms with one button not at the same time but after secounds.

edit: when we use this code, browser doesn't allow pop up.
if you use this code for your software like me just set browser for show pop up but if you use it in designing site, browser is a barrier and code doesn't run.
