Flow for: fill form, make paypal payment, create account

I've implemented a paypal transaction before but this one has a twist that I'm not quite sure what's the best way to handle it. The basic idea is I want to create an account for the user when he provides some details and makes a payment via PayPal. Until BOTH the user details are filled out correctly AND the payment is made correctly, I shouldn't create an account for the user.The setup I've done before was simply a paypal button that the user clicks, makes a payment, and gets forwarded back to just a generic page "your order will be processed and shipped" so there was no pre-order form involved. This one is different though because
  • before PayPal, I need to collect initial user data
  • after PayPal, I need to create the new user account and use in it the user data collected from the pre-paypal form
I'm sure there's a logical way to implement this, but I'm not quite sure what's the flow I should follow to do it.I use the Zend framework by the way, which shouldn't matter but just in case Zend has an easier way to help me with what I'm trying to do.
