 * Hi, I am creating a fairly simple plugin for WordPress, the plugin doesnt interact
   much with WordPress, its mainly there to store options for an external PHP script.
   I have got the plugin option feilds setup, and they are storing the information,
   and retrieving the information correctly on the plugin options page. But how 
   would I go about passing those options on to an external PHP Page. – So if for
   example I have an option `my_option_name` which is configured using the wp-admin
   plugin options page, How could I pass that value into a basic PHP Page as a variable
   or such? So it can be used as a heading or title of the page. Any help with this
   is much appreciated, I have searched but cant find anything. Thanks Guys, I will
   be sure to credit you in the head of my Plugin code too. – What I need is to 
   be able to `<?php echo $this->options['my_plugin_title'] ;?>` in an external 
   file, that will be accessed directly. The closest I got what being able to use
   something like `<?php echo get_option("blogname") ?>` by including wp-blog-header.

 * OK A better solution I think might be to access the database directly and set
   the strings as variables, what is the best way to “deserialise” data that has
   been put into the wordpress options table, so it can be read in a clear format?
