 * Hello,
 * I’m trying to write a simple plugin and what I need to know, which I can’t seem
   to find anywhere would be how to do this:
 * The plugin needs to have page id numbers entered it. Rather than do it in the
   plugin file, I would like it to be done through a plugin admin page.
 * I can’t figure out how to make it so I could have a text input field and what
   is entered there is pulled into where it needs to go in the php.
 * Anyone point me in the right direction?

 * you need to create an options page in your plugin.

 * Thank you.
 * Now I’m hung up again.
 * What I can’t get to do is have a basic text input, that inserts the entry into
   a function.
 * How do I make the options ‘talk’ to the function?

 * You need to call them Scott.
 * They are saved as options in the options table.
 * You can use this function:
