How to get user ID on the registration and add in to custom table

Question

I am trying to get user ID on registration and automatically add that ID to my custom table. I am using wp-members plugin for registration.

So is it possible to get user ID on the fly while registering and add that ID to another custom table with WP-Members plugin.

Or I can use custom registration page if require. But need some guideline how to get user ID on the fly during registration.

Anyone please help me..

Please take a look at user_register hook

This is fired when a new user is registered and conveniently passes you the user ID of the new user.

function function_name( $user_id )
{        
    /* do what you want to do with ID here */
}
add_action( 'user_register', 'function_name');

	My table name is `wp_customs` and column is `customs_id` and I tired below code but didn't insert user id when they registers. `function get_customs_id($user_id){ global $wpdb; $wpdb->insert( 'wp_customs', array( 'customs_id' => 'value1' ), array( '%d' ) ); } add_filter('user_register', 'get_customs_id');` – pixelngrain Aug 30 '12 at 11:27
