# Access & modify table data in json file with PHP?

 * Is it possible to use custom PHP code or other to view or modify data from the
   json files where table(s) data is stored? We are working on a way to make data
   in the table dynamic so user can vote up/down items in table. If you have any
   ideas or documentation about such functionality please let us know. Suggestions
   for custom function we can add into a plugin like Code Snippets would be awesome.
 * Thanks!

 * Hi,
 * thanks for your post, and sorry for the trouble.
 * Yes, that would be possible by using custom PHP code. Essentially, you would 
   need to load the table, modify the data, prepare it for saving, and then save
   it again. I recommend to do it in the same way as TablePress saves the table 
   after it has been submitted, see [https://github.com/TobiasBg/TablePress/blob/master/controllers/controller-admin_ajax.php#L69](https://github.com/TobiasBg/TablePress/blob/master/controllers/controller-admin_ajax.php#L68)
 * Regards,
   Tobias
