I've been trying to use an example I got off of this forum.
The PHP file works fine as a separate PHP file.
When it's adding into a wp page the following results occur;
Page will access db and display the list of people.
Columns can be sorted by either the id or name.
Existing names can be modified
However;
Can not add new players or delete players
ANY suggestions are appreciated!
