Save form value into wordpress database
I'm creating a wordpress plugin, and I want to save a radio button value into the wordpress database, so I can use it later on another function. But I don't know how to do it. I tried with session but this value is lost when the session expired. Can you tell me how to do it?
Here is my code:
function e_option_page() { ?>
<form action="" id="testimonialsform" method="post">
<input type="radio" name="Option" value="Option 1">Option 1
<input type="radio" name="Option" value="Option 2">Option 2
<input type="radio" name="Option" value="Option 3">Option 3
<input type="submit" name="submit" value="Submit" />
</form>
<?php
if (isset($_POST['submit'])) {
if(isset($_POST['Option'])){
echo "You have selected :".$_POST['Option']; // Displaying Selected Value
}//End isset
}//End isset
}//End function
function e_setting_page() {
add_submenu_page('edit.php?post_type=testimonials', 'Settings', 'Settings', 'edit_posts', "settings",'e_option_page');
}
add_action('admin_menu' , 'e_setting_page');

If you create a bigger plugin you maybe create your own table and store the data there. For simple things, this should be enough to store some setting values.

You can save any option value in "wp_usermeta" table.
if (isset($_POST['submit'])) {
if(isset($_POST['Option'])){
//echo "You have selected :".$_POST['Option']; // Displaying Selected Value
// Save data
global $wpdb;
$table = $wpdb->prefix.'usermeta';
$data = array('meta_key' => 'your_option_name', 'meta_value' => $_POST['Option']);
$format = array('%s','%s');
$wpdb->insert($table,$data,$format);
$my_id = $wpdb->insert_id;
print_r($my_id);
}//End isset
}//End isset
After that you can use this for you option selected value.
Now you can check the option value.
// So check and make sure the stored value matches $new_value.
if ( $new_value = get_user_meta( $user_id=0, 'your_option_name', true ) ) {
echo $new_value;
}else{
wp_die( __( 'An error occurred', 'textdomain' ) );
}
Also you can update meta key
// Will return false if the previous value is the same as $new_value.
$updated = update_user_meta( $user_id=0, 'your_option_name', 'new_value' );
