paypal ipn?

Hi all,
I'm interested in making a donation form, yet im alittle confused. I've got a form with a couple things like Name, Email, Payment Amount, and Comments. When the user clicks submit, im hoping to get the form to redirect to a Paypal pay page (try saying that 3 times fast!), while the amount gets forwarded to the pay page, and the other variables (such as email), get emailed to me. At the end of the transaction, the user would get forwarded back to my site. I've seen this done-although I can't figure it out.

Thanks!

See, you don't need IPN. You just need to include with your Paypal link a return link for if the transaction goes through. Paypal automatically will email you when you get a donation, and if you pass all the variables how Paypal likes it, it will include them in the email saying you received money. Using IPN is going to be a pain in the rear as compared to the other option.

I see...any way to point me in the right direction?

Give me about 5 minutes, I have to find an example, I think I know where to look, though.
