 * Hy,
 * I’m trying to do a page option for my theme, who allow user to display a text
   in the home page.
 * Code:
 *     ```
       <?php
   
       add_action('admin_menu' , 'theme_options');
   
       // FUNCTION THEME OPTIONS ////////////////////////////////////////////////////
       //////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
       function theme_options()
       {
       	// à l'initialisation de l'administration
       	// on informe WordPress des options de notre thème
       	register_setting( 'my_theme', 'quick_description' ); // Quick description
   
       	// ADD MENU ///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
       	///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
       	add_menu_page(
       		'Options du thème', // Page title
       		'Options', // Page name in Admin MENU
       		'administrator',   // le rôle d'utilisateur requis pour voir cette page
       		'theme-options-page',  // Unique page ID
       		'pageOptionsDesciption'   // Function name
       	);
   
       	// SUB MENU ///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
       	///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
       	add_submenu_page(
       		'theme-options-page', // Parent Menu
       		'Description', // Page title
       		'Description', // Page name in Admin MENU
       		'administrator',   // le rôle d'utilisateur requis pour voir cette page
       		'theme-options-page',  // Unique page ID
       		'pageOptionsDesciption'   // Function name
       	);
   
       }
   
       // FUNCTION DESCRIPTION ///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
       ///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
       function pageOptionsDesciption(){
       	// Check that the user is allowed to update options
       	if (!current_user_can('manage_options')) {
       	    wp_die('You do not have sufficient permissions to access this page.');
       	}
       	else
       	{			
   
       		if(isset($_GET['settings-updated']))
       		{
   
       			// DATA processing ///////////////////////////////////////////////////////
       			//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
       			$name_option = 'quick_description';
       			$post_value = $_POST[$name_option];
   
       			if(empty($post_value)){
       				delete_option($name_option);
       			}
       			else{
       				update_option($name_option, $value);
       			}
       			// MESSAGE////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
       			//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
       			?><div  class="updated fade"><p><strong>Saved</strong></p></div><?php
   
       		}
   
       		// DISPLAY PAGE //////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
       		//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
       		?>
       			<div class="wrap">
       				<h2>Options</h2>
       				<hr/>
   
       				<form method="POST" action="options.php">
       					<?php
   
       						settings_fields( 'my_theme' );
       					?>
   
       					<h3>Rapide description sur la page d'accueil du site</h3>
       					<table class="form-table">
       						<tr>
       							<td style="padding:0;" >
       								<textarea id="quick_description" name="quick_description" rows="10" cols="100%"><?php echo get_option( 'quick_description' ,'Ici votre rapide description'); ?></textarea>
       							</td>
       						</tr>
       					</table>
   
       					<p class="submit">
       						<input type="submit"  class="button-primary" value="update" />
       					</p>
       				</form>
       			</div>
       		<?php
       	}
   
       }
       ```
   
 * The problem is that the fonction save nothing in the Data base.
    I don’t know
   where is my mistake.
 * Thanks in advance for your help.
