title: How to save contact form's content to wordpress database and access in dashboard?
body: <p>What would be the easiest way to create a contact form that saves the answer to a prize game's question to the wordpress database?</p>
  
  <p>I already tried the combination of the two plugins "contact form" and "contact form to database" but customisation is only possible in the premium version.</p>
  
  <p>Are there any existing plugins that could do what I need? If not, how to create something that could do it?</p>
  
  <p>I guess I would have to create an options page in functions.php of the theme:</p>
  
  <ul>
  <li>register "prize game" to menu  </li>
  <li>create a new table in the database</li>
  <li>start a query for all posted answers that displays the answers etc.</li>
  </ul>
  
  <p>Then I would need a contact form plugin:</p>
  
  <ul>
  <li>create shortcode</li>
  <li>create form</li>
  <li>create query that checks if name or email address already exists in database</li>
  <li>a function that checks <code>if(isset $_POST[...])</code> and saves the post to the database with wp->insert</li>
  </ul>
  
  <p>Am I right? Or is there an easier way to solve that problem?</p>
  
  <p>I would appreciate some tips, links or code snippets. :)</p>
