 * I’m trying to use text boxes to gather current post title, user and date and 
   place them into a form…
    In a regular text box I can do something like this and
   it works perfectly:
 * `<input type="text" name="contactName" id="contactName" value="<?php echo get_the_title();?
   >" />`
    How can I call my <?php ?> stuff in your text fields? If I put it under
   the Placeholder field it doesn’t run the php… it treats it as text…

 * Unfortunately this is not something that would work without explicitly facilitating
   it, and its not a good idea to do that, since it opens a huge security hole. 
   I’m not sure what you need to do, but if all you need is the post title and stuff
   like that, you could put some javascript in a ‘note’ with no label (it will be
   invisible that way), or you could make a custom display template.
