 * Everytime I try to submit a form into the database with INSERT, I get an error:
   
   _Fatal error: Call to a member function prepare() on a non-object in /…/…/saveTemplate.
   php on line 17
 *     ```
       <?php	global $wpdb;
   
       	$field1 = $_POST['tmplName'];
   
       	$sql = $wpdb->prepare(
            "INSERT INTO 'wp_templates' ('templateName') values ",
             $field1);
   
       $wpdb->query($sql);
       ?>
       ```
   
 * Can you please help me?

 * wouldn’t it be easier to do:
 *     ```
       global $wpdb;
       $field = array();
       $field['templateName'] = $_POST['tmplName'];
       $sql = $wpdb->insert('wp_templates',$field);
       ```
