 * I want to use this WP table reloaded. But I need to understand and know if I 
   can pull data out? I want to populate a taxonomy drop down – is this possible
   and possibly how? Ie. How do I reach the actual data in WP table reloaded via
   PHP script so I can call a loop like ex:
 * foreach ($my_wp_table_reloaded[‘field_name’] as $field_data;
    my_taxonomy_field_option
   = $field_data;
 * So $my_wp_table_reloaded[‘field_name’] would come from within WP table reloaded
   or a reference to it via global?
 * Thanks. Looks like what I am looking for.

 * Hi,
 * I’m afraid that this is not really possible and that this is not within the intended
   use case of the plugin.
 * You could do it by manually pulling the WP option from the database and work 
   through the resulting array (take a look at the plugin source to see how the 
   plugin does it), but I really don’t recommend this.
    WP-Table Reloaded was not
   designed to offer such dynamic querying, as its purpose is to show static tables
   on pages/posts without the need of HTML knowledge.
 * You are likely better off with a custom solution and by using your own database
   table.
 * Regards,
    Tobias
