 * Hi,
 * I want to get the permalink from a given variable.
 * I have an option using the settings api in which users can input the slug of 
   a page.
 * What i wanted is to output the permalink of the slug inputted by users.
 * I have this,
 *     ```
       function mytheme_option( $option ) {
       	$options = get_option( 'mytheme_options' );
       	if ( isset( $options[$option] ) )
       		return $options[$option];
       	else
       		return false;
       }
       $termspage = mytheme_option('terms_slug');
       echo get_permalink($termspage);
       ```
   
 * However, it doesn’t output the permalink even the page of the inputted slug exists.
 * Please help
