Having issues with the from - php

Question

I have an issue with the form. For some reason it does not populate the table I named About
Table info (About):
user_id,
aboutme_id,
about,
Table info (Users):
user_id,
...,
...,
...,
etc.
Form:
$this->addElement('textarea', 'description', array(
'label' => 'Body Content',
'required' => true,
'allowEmpty' => false,
));
Verification
public function onProcess()
{
// In this case, the step was placed before the account step.
// Register a hook to this method for onUserCreateAfter
if( !$this->_registry->user ) {
// Register temporary hook
Engine_Hooks_Dispatcher::getInstance()->addEvent('onUserCreateAfter', array(
'callback' => array($this, 'onProcess'),
));
return;
}
$user = $this->_registry->user;
$data = $this->getSession()->data;
$form = $this->getForm();
if( !$this->_skip && !$this->getSession()->skip ) {
if( $form->isValid($data) ) {
$values = $form->getValues();
$table = Engine_Api::_()->getDbtable('about', 'user');
$rName = $table->info('name');
$userTable = Engine_Api::_()->getDbtable('users', 'user')->info('name');
$select = $select
->setIntegrityCheck(false)
->from($userTable)
->joinLeft($userTable, "$userTable.user_id = $rName.user_id")
->where($userTable, "$userTable.user_id = $rName.user_id");
}
}
}
Any idea what is going on with this picture?

Try to test database table operations in a sample empty action of some controller using echo "<pre>"; print_r(); echo "</pre>"; die(); to debug results. You can also use $select->__toString() to get raw sql of constructed query.
Also take a look at /temporary/log/main.log for some notices/errors.
