can any one help on this.......challenge task 2 of 3

Underneath the my_plugin_username declaration, add the variable to the options array. Then create an options index of last_updated and assign it the UNIX timestamp for the current time. This is what i did $options['last_updated']=time(); updated_option('my_plugin_option', $options);}

plugin.php 
<?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'] );

      {

      $options['last_updated']=time();updated_options('my_plugin_option','$options');}


        }

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


?>

Hi Kidane,

if( isset( $_POST['my_plugin_hidden_field'] ) ) {           
            $my_plugin_username = esc_html( $_POST['my_plugin_username'] );
            $options = ['my_plugin_username'=>$my_plugin_username, 'last_updated'=>time()];
        }

You add $my_plugin_username and the current time to the $options array.
