 * Hi,
 * Assuming I have a plugin which allows the user to save 3 text values. After saving
   he will get a shortcode which echos all these 3 values.
    It is easy to save these
   values in the database, cause I can name them however I want. But what if the
   user wants to create another shortcode with 3 other values? If the new values
   get the same name they probably get overwritten. So how do I identify the values
   of new categories dynamically? And how do I create the new shortcode which includes
   the right values?
 * I guess I have to use an array. But I don’t really know how to practice my example
   above.
