 * I have limited PHP coding experience but decided to try my hand at adding shortcodes
   to my theme once I realized I would not be able to easily make certain modifications
   in the future otherwise. It will be a photo-based blog, and what I’m working 
   on is a way to add certain information to photo posts through use of shortcodes.
   This information will include captions, links to the gallery that photo is found
   in and the next/previous photo in that gallery, ect. Hopefully the snippet of
   code that I’m having trouble with will at least help demonstrate what I’m trying
   to do:
    [http://wordpress.pastebin.com/LA8zL55S](http://wordpress.pastebin.com/LA8zL55S)
   Basically since I don’t know of any way to query the posts or pages that a particular
   photo is found in, I will manually add that information within the posts themselves
   through shortcodes. In this case, I want the shortcode [photo_in_gallery photo_page_id
   =”40″] to return some html including a link to the page declared by the id attribute.

 * Ok about 30 error throws later I think I finally got it. I caught the end of 
   the game too though, so I’m not _that_ slow.
 * updated it on the pastebin too, in case anyone still wants to check
