options implements a simple application options container class of sorts. Basically you can store your application options in the database easily using this class. You will need to create a table with the following structure in order for this class to work.

CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS options (
id int(11) NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
option_name varchar(100) NOT NULL,
option_value varchar(2048) NOT NULL,
PRIMARY KEY (id)
) ENGINE=InnoDB DEFAULT CHARSET=latin1 AUTO_INCREMENT=1 ;
