[wp-hackers] Using the page_options field to create custom options pages

G'day,

I've just added an article to the codex about creating new options pages 
based on a technique I discovered a few days ago.
http://codex.wordpress.org/Creating_Options_Pages

I found that if you set the form action to options.php and create a 
hidden field called page_options with a comma separated list of the 
fields on the page that should be mapped to options, WordPress will 
handle all the saving / redirection / permissions / etc for you.

If I've missed anything or there's any errors, please let me know. Any 
feedback would be most welcome.

Cheers,


Callum.
