function hook_field_storage_write

Write field data for an entity.

This hook is invoked from field_attach_insert() and field_attach_update(), to ask the field storage module to save field data.

Parameters

$entity_type: The entity type of entity, such as 'node' or 'user'.

$entity: The entity on which to operate.

$op: FIELD_STORAGE_UPDATE when updating an existing entity, FIELD_STORAGE_INSERT when inserting a new entity.

$fields: An array listing the fields to be written. The keys and values of the array are field IDs.
