   Hello all,

   I'm developing a plugin and I need to trigger a function only when the plugin is updated (via the WordPress admin interface, of course). Is there a way to do this? I know we have register_activation_hook, but this is not triggered during the update. Any thoughts?

   Thanks,
   camu

   I add an action to init
   add_action('init','my_update_routine',1);

   and do a check for the existence of a value in the database (plugin version number), and only including the upgrade routine if necessary, otherwise returning false.

   Yeah, I ended up doing the same exact thing :)
