Code Challenge: Create a global array named "options" and include it in the options page function.

I'm stuck on this challenge. I create a global option array using global $options; but am stuck on including it in the options page function.

<?php
$options = array();

function my_plugin_options_page() {
    if( !current_user_can( 'manage_options' ) ) {
        wp_die( 'You do not have sufficient permissions to access this page.' );
    }

    global $options;

    if( isset( $_POST['my_plugin_hidden_field'] ) ) {           
        $my_plugin_username = esc_html( $_POST['my_plugin_username'] );

    }

    require('includes/page-wrapper.php');
}

$options = array(); should be declared at the start

Thanks Luke! That did the trick.

<?php

  $options = array();

    function my_plugin_options_page() {

        global $options;    

        if( !current_user_can( 'manage_options' ) ) {
            wp_die( 'You do not have sufficient permissions to access this page.' );
        }

        if( isset( $_POST['my_plugin_hidden_field'] ) ) {           
            $my_plugin_username = esc_html( $_POST['my_plugin_username'] );

        }

        require('includes/page-wrapper.php');
    }

?>

I think initially I put "global $options" in the wrong spot but here you can see where the right spot is:

Luke would you mind sharing your code with me? I still haven't gotten this down.
