   I want to add an options and a manage page for my plugin.

   I am aware on the code to create this in WP Admin.

   I've seen other plugins which have a few settings under the Options page

   How do I do this so that I can set / update the variables that the functions in my plugin file uses.

   I hope the question is clear.

   WordPress provides a few plugin functions for saving and retrieving data in the options table:

   Another question on this topic.

   update_option($option_name, $newvalue);

   How do I pass an Array as the value of $newvalue ??

   $newvalue = array('hi', 'test', 'etc');
update_option($option_name, $newvalue);

   or

   update_option($option_name, array('hi', 'test', 'etc'));

   Just like any php function.

   So I assume I can even use $option_name = some_name and then use update_option
