### Form Submission Logic Flow
1. User must be logged in.
2. Auto-fill hidden fields: user_id, user_login.
3. User fills visible fields, including up to 5 bunker_ref inputs.
4. Only bunker_ref_1 is mandatory; bunker_ref_2-5 are optional.
5. For each filled bunker_ref, create one record (row) in `hunterqso` with other fields duplicated.
6. Insert all records on form submit.
7. Show new records immediately in WordPress DataTable with SQL query.

### Current Focus
– Design form layout in Elementor Pro (multi-bunker_ref input).
– Implement PHP handler to insert multiple rows on submit.
– Sanitize & validate input, convert formats as needed.
– Integrate real-time refresh or AJAX for displaying new data.
—
### Questions / Next Steps
– Guidance on Elementor Pro form setup for multiple bunker_ref fields.
– Code samples for custom form handling and DB insert.
– Tips on date/time format conversion in PHP.

START
↓
User visits form (must be logged in)
↓
System auto-fills hidden fields:
– user_id (from WordPress login)
– user_login (text version)
↓
User fills in visible form fields:
– callsign_used (required)
– bunker_ref_1 (required)
– bunker_ref_2–5 (optional)
– date_worked (default = today, editable)
– time_worked (default = now UTC, editable)
– callsign_worked (required)
– SigTX / SigRX (optional, default = 59)
– band (dropdown, default = 40m, accepts 40 or 40m)
– mode (dropdown or text, normalize LSB/USB → SSB)
↓
User clicks SUBMIT
↓
System checks how many bunker_ref fields were filled
↓
For EACH bunker_ref (up to 5):
– Create one row in hunterqso with:
→ Same values for all fields
→ Different bunker_ref per row
→ Auto-incremented ID
↓
Insert rows into hunterqso table
↓
(Optional) Page reloads or AJAX updates DataTable
↓
New QSO(s) appear in real-time via SQL-driven display
