Thank you very much for your answer :)

I've tried to do this but $this->adb value is always returning 'd' (the last item of my $as array).

I think I'll need to do it the old way (a new admin page) :(

Again, thanks for your time!

What I usually do is to make sure the plugin and all its functions are contained within a class and then assigned the values to the class so the callback function can access them by using $this->myVar i.e.

class myPlugin
{

private $myVar = 10;

function myCallBack(){

$newVar = $this->myVar;

}

}

That's awesome! Thank you for sharing!!

But I'm trying to figure out how to pass an argument to the callback function. Actually, I don't know if it could be done :(

Eg.


$as = array('A', 'B', 'C', 'D');
$adb = null;

function my_new_settings(){
	global $as;
	foreach($as as $a):

		$adb = sanitize_title($a);		
 
		register_setting('media',"{$adb}_1");
		register_setting('media',"{$adb}_2");

		add_settings_field("{$adb}" , "{$a} setting:" ,
			'my_new_callback' , 'media' , 'default');

	endforeach;
}

function my_new_callback(){
	global $adb;

	echo "<label for=\"{$adb}_1\">Setting 1</label>
		<input name=\"{$adb}_1\" id=\"{$adb}_1\" value=\"".attribute_escape(get_option("{$adb}_1"))."\" class=\"small-text\" type=\"text\">
		<label for=\"{$adb}_2\">Setting 2</label>
		<input name=\"{$adb}_2\" id=\"{$adb}_2\" value=\"".attribute_escape(get_option("{$adb}_2"))."\" class=\"small-text\" type=\"text\">
	";
}

add_action('admin_init', 'my_new_settings');

Maybe I'm missing something? Thanks in advance!
