[wp-hackers] Options and caching

[James Davis]

Some users of a plugin I write aren't correctly retrieving option 
values. A little Googling suggests this may be related to caching of 
previous get_option() calls. I have a niggling feeling that I might be 
misusing the _option() calls in one way or another. What I'm doing on 
installation is...

if (get_option("myoption")=="")
	update_option("myoption","defaultvalue");

and later...

get_option("myoption");

returns "".

Any ideas?

James
