if you use pmform, i.e. (:input pmform ....:)
it uses its own action=pmform, which calls its own function
HandlePmForm to process the form submission.

It looks as if you want to use your own function,
called with your own action=MetaEdit.

So you need something like this instead of (:input pmform ....:):

(:input form:) (:input hidden action MetaEdit:)
etc.....

Try that and see if your function gets called.

Oh, and $_POST is a 'superglobal' variable, you don't need to
declare it as global in your function, it is available everywhere.
