How to add form data to db AND post to a new file?

[bearclaws]

I need an HTML form to do two things when the user clicks "Submit":

1) Insert the form data into a database
2) post the form data to a 3rd party link (i.e. verisign) to complete CC purchase

...I can get either 1 or 2 to work - but not both together!

Is there some way that I can post to the PHP file that inserts the database data AND then post to the Verisign URL from within that same PHP file?

Thanks!

post to a scipt, that script inserts the data into the db

then use cURL [php.net] to issue the post to verisign

Or, perhaps use sockets?
