 * Hello All,
 * I am new to this forum and for the same reason I apologize if I have posted this
   topic in some other category then its own.
 * Currently I am developing my first plugin and created all the UI stuff. Now I
   am trying to save the plugin options user choose but it isn’t working.
 * I have registered the settings hook, settings group and options variable but 
   it still redirects the page to options.php
 * Here is a code snippet I have written to register the settings hook and the settings
   initialization:
 *     ```
       // Adding settings group and variable
       function MY_settings() {
       	register_setting('Mygroup','Mysettings');
       }
       // Registering settings hook
       add_action('admin_init','MY_settings');
       ```
   
 * Now to get the data from variable, I am using
 *     ```
       global $My_Settings
       <input name="Mysettings[id]" type="text" id="id" value="' . $My_Settings[id] . '" class="regular-text" />
       ```
   
 * And at the top of MyPlugin.php file, I have this code:
 *     ```
       $My_Settings = get_option('Mysettings');
       if( ! $My_Settings ) {
       	$My_Settings = array(
       		'id' => 'Enter you ID here'
       	);
       	update_option('Mysettings',$My_Settings);
       }
       ```
   
 * Any help will be really appreciated, and a small code snippet if you can provide
   will be great too. I know I am missing a very small check or something but I 
   am unable to figure it out.
 * Thanks,
    Osama
