Description

Adds metadata for a particular post. The information used is POSTed from the "Custom Fields" form on the Edit Post Administration screen.

Usage

 <?php add_meta( $post_ID ); ?> 

Parameters

$post_ID

(integer) (required) The post ID to associate the metadata with.

Default: None

Return Values

(Boolean) 

FALSE for failure. TRUE for success.

Example

/*
Unless you developed a custom post form that uses the custom field widget,
there is little reason to use this function 
*/
add_meta( $post_ID );

Notes

Data used for the added metadata is taken from $_POST['metakeyselect'], $_POST['metakeyinput'], $_POST['metavalue']. Either the select or input fields are used for the meta key. If both are present, input field is used.
