I want a script that can take some user information from a paypal IPN and take this information and fill a form on a separate website that I don't own. Basically, customers buy something from me and I have to use this other website to sent them the item, but i have to do it manually, is it possible in anyway to be able to automatically do this?

You could always post from your IPN notifier directly to the processing page of that form on the remote site.

All you'd need to do is copy the form layout and you'd probably be fine. Post up the form code if you want people to have a look.

ah I forgot to put in some essential details... you have to be logged in for it to work.

I've since researched cURL, I know this task can be accomplished using cURL but Im not a good programmer and havent been able to configure it right. Can anyone recommend someone who might be able to do the job? I really just want a working basis that I can start from, in other words, a cURL script that successfully logs into the site so I can pull information from it

It still depends on what validation they have on their form as to whether you will be successful?

Any chance of PM'ing the site?

Yes, this can be done with CURL very easily (unless a CAPTCHA is in place). CURL is very powerful and fun to use.
