Enrollment Bailout Email Automation

Looking for help on the following project:

I have a subscription service where service "enrollment" consists of 4 pages.

Page 1 captures username, first name, last name, email address. Data is saved in the session for future use.

Page 2 captures the subscription plan choice and saves it in the session for future use.

Page 3 captures the billing and credit card information and submits all data to an enrollment service which validates the credit card and creates an account for the user.

Page 4 is the enrollment success page.

I would like to capture the first name, last name, and email address of anyone that gets through page 1, but bails out of enrollment and send that information to my email service provider through their API.

I will then send an email to those that bailed out some time after the session has expired.

There are several ways this can be accomplished, but the method recommended to me is to leverage Apache and run a script upon session timeout to grab the Page 1 data left in the session and send it to my ESP through their API.

I am running a LAMP environment and prefer using PHP for the script. The project scop would include development of the script and modifying the existing checkout to leverage that script to write "bailouts" to a list at my ESP.
