how to use the update option in wordpress plugin

Sponsors

Most of wordpress plugin writer choose the new table for saving data for plugin setting and any setting in wordpress plugin. I recommend to use the update option for saving data in wordpress database.

There is ready made option is provided by wordpress to save custom data in there table.

Here with very simple code I will show how use save the data in wordpress database.

< ?php
$variable = array(‘var1′ => $_POST['var1'], ‘var2′ => $_POST['var2']);
update_option(‘myPlugin_var1′, serialize($variable));
get_option(‘myPlugin_var1′) == “” ? “” : $new = unserialize(get_option(‘myPlugin_var1′));
?>

You should save data in simple variable format or I suggest always save data in array format.
