 * Hey there,
    I’m writing a plugin that shows up on every edit post page. I was
   wondering about how to store the data in the database. Each guide I find seem
   to refer to plugins that are apart of the admin panel but not the edit post.
 * I know that this needs to be used.
 * update_option(‘plugin_dbhost’, $dbhost);
 * But since the data is referring to individual pages, so I need to name this differently?
   Perhaps this?
 * update_option (‘plugin_dbhost’.$this->id, $dbhost);
