I'm presuming the setup will be as follows.</p> <p>1) Pass the postID to a hidden field via the URL on which the form is located</p> <p>2. Prepopulate the form fields with the existing post-meta fields. (I have this setup already so no questions about this)</p> <p>3. On form submit use the post submission hook to call a "example-processing.php" file where I handle the relevant database entriees to add the details tto the wp_postmeta table</p> <p>//////////////</p> <p>So if the above is correct I have the following questions:</p> <p>1. Can you provide a brief code example for how to use the post submission hook in these circumstances</p> <p>2. Can you provide a brief code example for how to reference the data inside my "example-processing.php" file. I have no problem with the subsequent database entries once I have the variables declared in this file.</p> <p>Thanks as always for your help</p> <p>Luke </p>
