WooCommerce woocommerce_admin_settings_sanitize_option use

I'm currently using the action woocommerce_update_option_X to save the settings of my plugin settings page. However, the following error occurs:

woocommerce_update_option_X action is deprecated, use woocommerce_admin_settings_sanitize_option filter instead


But when I try to find information on that filter, I can't figure out how to use it in my case. In my settings I have a table with fields that has to be saved. The table looks like this:

...
<tbody>
<?php
$max_settings = get_option('max_settings',array());
foreach ( $max_settings as $data ) {
?>
<tr>
<td><input type="text" value="<?php echo esc_attr( $data['var'] ) ?>" name="max_settings[var]" /></td>
<td><input type="text" value="<?php echo esc_attr( $data['productid'] ) ?>" name="max_settings[productid]" /></td>
</tr>
<?php
}
?>
</tbody>
...


The code I'm currently using:

add_action('woocommerce_update_option_max_field_table','update_option_max_field_table');
function update_option_max_field_table($value){
$max_settings_new = $_POST['max_settings'];
$max_settings = array();

// Check if settings table is filled with information
if(!empty($max_settings_new))
{
foreach($max_settings_new as $fields => $max_settings_extra ){
foreach( $max_settings_extra as $key => $settings ){
$max_settings[$key][$fields] = $settings;
}
}
update_option('max_settings',$max_settings);
}
}


Anyone who knows how to correctly use the new filter instead of the old action?

If (now) I understand the question properly, you have a WooCommerce setting named woocommerce_max_field_table, which once the option is saved, you want the max_settings field/table to be saved as well.

woocommerce_max_field_table

max_settings

So if that's correct, then I believe you don't need to use the woocommerce_admin_settings_sanitize_option filter. (or you shouldn't use it for the above purpose)

woocommerce_admin_settings_sanitize_option

This is the code I used and tested to work (with the latest WooCommerce release):

add_action( 'woocommerce_settings_saved', 'update_option_max_field_table' );
function update_option_max_field_table(){
if ( ! isset( $_POST['woocommerce_max_field_table'], $_POST['max_settings'] ) ) {
return;
}

// ... the rest of your code here ...
}


So as you can see, the filter I used is woocommerce_settings_saved. But you could also use woocommerce_update_options or one of the other filters in WC_Admin_Settings::save().

woocommerce_settings_saved

woocommerce_update_options

WC_Admin_Settings::save()

The filter woocommerce_update_option is also available; however, although it works (as of now), which means it doesn't throw any WooCommerce/WordPress/PHP errors/notices, it's actually also been deprecated and I'd suggest not to using it.

woocommerce_update_option

UPDATE

Fixed the typo — it's max_field_table and not max_table.

max_field_table

max_table

And just for reference, this would be how you could use the suggested filter — woocommerce_admin_settings_sanitize_option_$option_name:

woocommerce_admin_settings_sanitize_option_$option_name

add_action( 'woocommerce_admin_settings_sanitize_option_max_field_table', 'update_option_max_field_table' );
function update_option_max_field_table( $value ){
if ( ! isset( $_POST['woocommerce_max_field_table'], $_POST['max_settings'] ) ) {
return $value;
}

// ... the rest of your code here ...

return $value;
}
