Are you just trying to store simple name -> value pairs?
You could check for $_POST data in your theme then use
update_option($name,$value)to save the data.update_optionwill create the row in the DB if it doesn’t exist. And get_option($name) will retrieve it.Or are you trying to store something more complex?
