Add rich text editor in wp plugin - php

Question

I added a tinymce text editor into my wp plugin using these codes:
add_action('admin_init', 'editor_admin_init');
add_action('admin_head', 'editor_admin_head');
function editor_admin_init(){
wp_enqueue_script('post');
wp_enqueue_script('word-count');
wp_enqueue_script('editor');
wp_enqueue_script('media-upload');
}
function editor_admin_head(){
wp_tiny_mce();
}
And displaying it:
the_editor("", "content", "", false);
My question is, if i input some things into the editor. Where does it saves the data? On which table?

Answer 1

Depending on how you setup your plugin, this 'could be' saved as an option,
ie:
<?php
// Grab our options, IF your using Options
// if not you can create and use your own tables to store data
$options = get_option('your_plugin_options');
// using a hidden field on the form called action with a value of 'save'
if(isset($_POST['action']) && ($_POST['action']=='save')){
$options['main_content'] = trim($_POST['content']);
$newOptions = array( 'main_content' => $options['main_content'] );
update_option('your_plugin_options', $newOptions );
}
?>
this will create an Option within the wordpress table wp_options
then, if you want to ref that option you simply give it a shout.
<?php
$options = get_option('your_plugin_options');
$new_content = $options['main_content'];
echo $options['main_content'];
//or
echo $new_content;
?>
hopefully this points you in the right direction.
have a read through:
// using the get option

// updating options
http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/update_option
// creating seperate tables in your plugin
