 * I would like to build a few .php pages in order to process a form and then present
   API errors and thank-yous. Is that possible on the WP CMS? What would I need 
   to do in order to make that happen?
 * As an alternative solution, I would like to process a form wholly within a WordPress
   page. Is it possible to have wordpress php functions and other php notation on
   the same page? For example, may I start a session before the header is called?

 * [@wp-fresher](https://wordpress.org/support/users/wp-fresher/), you can use get_permalink()
   function to get the URL of the page that you want by the following manner: –
   
   1) First get the page id from its title/ slug 2) Store the page id in a variable.
   3) Pass this variable as an argument into the get_permalink() function.

 * Is there any way to pass variables from the post into the template? I’m using
   the PHP Exec plugin, and I’d like to use the post field to pass a bunch of variables
   into my content-single.php until I get my SQL database running. Any clues?
