 * [16 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/adding-and-reading-data-to-custom-table/)
 * I am trying to add a custom table to the WP database and fill it with the user
   data. Queue is for moderation and post it as a post to wordpress on acceptance.
 * I have a template for single with a form requesting Data from browser. I am passing
   this form data to a php file to check and process which is under Template dir/
   files/process.php
 * I am able to e-mail the data collected. but I want to semi-automate the process.
   Thus I want to add the Data to a table in WP database. That’s where I am now.
   $wpdb returns error. try to add a function in function.php file. No luck!
 * Can anyone help me here?
    tks

 * For 2 hours no answer, I guess I am left with building a plug-in for this task.
