add_option( 'general_settings2', $general_settings2_value ); ÂÂ
.........more
Instead of this, you may follow the following way by which all
options is saved in one array(general_settings) and only one record
is created.
ÂÂ
if(!get_option('general_settings')) {
 $general_settings_values = array(
  'general_settings1' => 'wordpress',
  'general_settings2' => ''
  ......more options
                                                                             ÂÂ
 );
     ÂÂ
 add_option( 'general_settings', $general_settings_values );
}  ÂÂ
so, how do you get back those options to use in your plugin?
this depicts how -
$options = get_option('general_settings');
then you get the option value as $options['general_settings1']
hope that helps, If you have further questions, post in forum in
