I have a three page event registration form. The second page (shown below) summarizes the selections made on a page 1, totals the bill, and emails the information. The user should then be directed to a third page that provides a "your registration has been sent" message along with a button to conncet to Paypal.
Problem: As I have written the code (shown below), the second page showing the total is bypassed (although it continues to send the email appropriately) and the user is taken directly to the third page.
Question: Is there a way to use the submit button to control the redirect so that the user can linger on the summary page, be redirected when he hits submit, and keep the email function? Do I need to use sessions to accomplish this?
Code is below. Thanks in advance for any help provided.
