getting posted form data into database

    I have an HTML Donation form that posts to a payment gateway. I do not have access to edit the payment gateway page. The HTML form is not on a secure server so I only collect non secure information such as amount, fName, lName, address, city, state, zip & 2 custom fields- message & special before posting to the gateway page where the secure credit card info is gathered. After the donation process, the end user is taken to a receipt php page I created that echoes the non-secure field values. Is it possible to INSERT the non-secure fields/values from the receipt page into a database? The Merchant needs the information to complete the donation. My receipt page does work, the code is as follows: 

    <html>
<head>
</head>
    Code (markup):
    <?php
$billTo_firstName=$HTTP_POST_VARS['billTo_firstName'];
$billTo_lastName=$HTTP_POST_VARS['billTo_lastName'];
$billTo_street1=$HTTP_POST_VARS['billTo_street1'];
$billTo_city=$HTTP_POST_VARS['billTo_city'];
$billTo_state=$HTTP_POST_VARS['billTo_state'];
$billTo_postalCode=$HTTP_POST_VARS['billTo_postalCode'];
$billTo_email=$HTTP_POST_VARS['billTo_email']; 
$amount=$HTTP_POST_VARS['amount']; 
$message=$HTTP_POST_VARS['message'];
$special=$HTTP_POST_VARS['special'];
?>
    PHP:
    <body>
<table cellspacing="2" cellpadding="2" width="600">
  <tr>
     <td align="center">Field</td>
    <td align="center">Value</td>
  </tr>
  <tr>
    <td>billTo_firstName</td>
    <td><?php echo $billTo_firstName; ?></td>
  </tr>
  <tr>
    <td>billTo_lastName</td>
    <td><?php echo $billTo_lastName; ?></td>
  </tr>
  <tr>
    <td>billTo_street1</td>
    <td><?php echo $billTo_street1; ?></td>
  </tr>
  <tr>
    <td>billTo_city</td>
    <td><?php echo $billTo_city; ?></td>
  </tr>
   <tr> 
    <td>billTo_state</td>
    <td><?php echo $billTo_state; ?></td>
  </tr>
   <tr>
    <td>billTo_postalCode</td>
    <td><?php echo $billTo_postalCode; ?></td>
  </tr>
  <tr>
    <td>billTo_email</td>
    <td><?php echo $billTo_email; ?></td>
  </tr>
  <tr>
    <td>amount</td>
    <td><?php echo $amount; ?></td>
  </tr>
  <tr>
    <td>message</td>
    <td><?php echo $message; ?></td>
  </tr>
  <tr>
    <td>special</td>
    <td><?php echo $special; ?></td>
  </tr>
</table>
</body>
</html>
    Code (markup):
    I appreciate any help I could get on this matter.

    Yes, if you insert into your receipt.php page some code similar to

    
<?
//db vars best referenced via an include outside of root. 
//Here for illustration purposes
$DBName = "dbname";
$Link = mysql_connect ($Host, $User, $Password);
//change fieldname to correspond to the column names in your db 
  $qry="insert into tablename values 
('$fieldname, '$fieldname2', '$fieldname3' )";
 $result = mysql_db_query ($DBName, $qry ,$Link);

//continue to output html receipt page
//using the variables received
?>
<html>
<head> 
</head>
<body>
Thanks <?=$billTo_firstName;?>
</body></html>
