 * Hi, I recently decided to edit the QuickPress custom form to make it match what
   i want. So the problem is I declared a variable and then used the post function
   to get the data from the form into the post and came towards this problem.
 * Its hard to explain but heres what happened.
 * Variable id_number declared.
    PHP gets the value user inputs in form and stores
   it in that variable. Variable is then published. But When i go to edit post inside
   wordpress admin, inside the post i get the variable $id_number rather than the
   actual number the user inputted but it works fine when its published, its just
   that the variable shows instead of the integer when editing.
 * How do I fix this that the variable shows as the integer rather than its variable
   name?
