I actually figured it out. I had an hidden field on my testdir,php page so I got it all working. My only other question is it still possible to validate the data for required fields on the first page (testdir.php) before it goes to the preview page?

 ########################################################################################
  ##   Form Code
  
  $schema = loadSchema('dir_listings');
  
  // save?
  $errorsAndAlerts = '';
  
 
  
  if (@$_REQUEST['save']) {
   
   
 
    
    if ($errorsAndAlerts) {
    
   if (!@$_REQUEST['title'])             { $errorsAndAlerts .= "You must enter your listing name!<br/>\n"; }
    if (!@$_REQUEST['state'])            { $errorsAndAlerts .= "You must enter your state!<br/>\n"; }
    if (!@$_REQUEST['city'])             { $errorsAndAlerts .= "You must enter your city!<br/>\n"; }
    if (!@$_REQUEST['zipcode'])          { $errorsAndAlerts .= "You must enter your zip!<br/>\n"; }
    if (!@$_REQUEST['address'])          { $errorsAndAlerts .= "You must enter your address!<br/>\n"; }
    if (!@$_REQUEST['summary'])          { $errorsAndAlerts .= "You must choose a description!<br/>\n"; }
   if (!@$_REQUEST['category'])          { $errorsAndAlerts .= "You must select a category!<br/>\n"; }
  }
    
   
 // save!
    if (!$errorsAndAlerts) {
mysqlStrictMode(false); // disable Mysql strict errors for when a field isn't defined below (can be caused when fields are added later)
      require_once("../../cmsAdmin/lib/user_functions.php");
      $record = array_slice_keys($_REQUEST, explode(', ', 'category, title, address, city, state, zipcode, summary'));
      
      $record = array_merge($record, array(
        'hidden'           => 1,
       'createdDate'      => mysql_datetime(),
        'createdByUserNum' => intval( @$CURRENT_USER['num'] ),
        'updatedDate'      => mysql_datetime(),
        'updatedByUserNum' => intval( @$CURRENT_USER['num'] ),
        'publishDate'      => mysql_datetime(),
 'date'             => mysql_datetime(),
        'reg_listing'      => 1,
 'url_link'        => 0,
        'neverRemove'      => 1,
      ));
      
    
}
  }
    
  $_REQUEST['preSaveTempId'] = coalesce(@$_REQUEST['preSaveTempId'], uniqid());
  
?>

Could this be causing it?

On the preview page, you need to make sure that the $_REQUEST data from testdir is coming through, but not being saved just yet, only displayed on the page. That's where you check to see if previewupdate is set and prevent anything from being processed if it's not.

Can you take a look at my files and see what I am doing wrong? 

Thanks!

<input type="hidden" name="previewupdate" value="1" />

If you check for this in the form's real submission and don't include it on the initial pass to the preview page, then the preview page will show the summary without submitting the form. Then the user can submit the form for real on this page, because the submission includes the hidden field that triggers the real submission.

Thanks!

I think I'd need more info as to what you're looking to do here, but Paypal does provide HTML button templates in order to pay for services. Perhaps that's what you need instead?
