ft_set_module_settings

This function abstracts away all the details of storing settings for your module in the settings database table. It takes a single parameter: a hash of key-value pairs where the key is the setting name and the value, the setting value.

Imagine you want to store two pieces of information supplied by the user: their age and name. You could store this information in the database like so:

$info = array("name" => $name, "age" => $age);
ft_set_module_settings($info);

And that's it! It's now stored in the database. If the value didn't already exist in the database it will be added. If it did already exist, the values will be updated.
