Insert data from custom created PHP page into wp_postmeta table

The error message basically says that $wpdb is not an object so you can’t call any methods on it. As we can’t see where $wpdb is defined in the source you posted it’s hard to tell any further details.

Are you even including wordpress in your external file? You need to require wp-load.php to use the wordpress functions and classes in an external application.
