WordPress Settings API: saving multiple rows of similar data

These are the best two articles i’ve read(i’m sure there are others to) on creating multiple options using the Settings API, one covers usage inside a theme and the other inside a plugin, but essentially both actuall cover doing the same thing(registering a page and having some savable fields inside that page).

Both have a few pieces here and there i don’t agree with, i can’t recall specifically what, but it’s the nature of writing code, you’re not always going to agree with the way certain coders approach particular things. I don’t have time to run over them now and pick out what i’d do different, but both are still very good examples of how to use the API.

Hope that helps.
