 * Hi,
    I’m writting a plugin to extend my wp site. The basic idea is to create 
   a table in the database to store informations about about target audience. The
   plugin creates a table on plug-in install. Next I added a menu page wich has 
   a form in wich the user can input the person name and some info. The problem 
   is that I don’t know what form action to use. I tried `action='/wp-admin/admin.
   php?page=plugin-opt'` wich is the setting page for my plugin but when I `var_dump(
   $_POST)` I only receive the submit button. Please help me understanding how to
   receive input from back-end form and insert it into the db.
 * Thank you
