config_gen_setup_post()

Description

Generate the first half of the "guts" of a plugin setup page from a page definition array. This
function deals with processing the POST that comes (usually) as a result of clicking on the Save
Configuration button.

The page definition array is typically constructed by a series of calls to config_add_xxxx
functions (see below). See the setup page for the sample plugin for information on how to use
this and the associated functions.

If wishing to store array of values in one config option, in your setup page have something like the
following which adds a single definition for each key of your config option:
foreach($usergroups as $k => $group)
{
global $usergroupemails;
if(!isset($usergroupemails[$group["ref"]])){$usergroupemails[$group["ref"]]=array();} // Define any missing keys
$page_def[] = config_add_text_list_input("usergroupemails[".$group["ref"]."]",$group["name"]); //need to pass a string that looks like: "$configoption["key"]"
}
The key can consist of numbers, letters or an underscore contained within "" or ''. If using numbers you don't need the quote marks


each of which describes how one of the plugin's configuration variables.

Parameters
