I’d like to access a DB table and render it in some data grid format using php on a dedicated wordpress page, accessible to members of a certain group. Is this at all possible with wordpress or is there another way to do so?
using wp 3.5 on linux system + mysql
thanks
You can create a simple plugin and either add a shortcode to run your php, or filter the_content and add a conditional check for your specific page and inject your DB output. This way your code will be independent of the theme and more portable. Use the wpdb class to query any database /table.
