[RESOLVED] wysiwyg editors

first let me confess that i have absolutely no idea abt php and very faint idea abt html ,but i am sure that i will understand the code as i am good at other languages

so my doubt is on my website i want to put up a wysiwyg editor(or a simple text box) where any user can type his/her review and on clicking the submit button ,their review gets added to the database(mysql) and the content added to a page.

if someone can post a solution it would be really helpful.(or any helpful links)
thanks a million in advance

Re: wysiwyg editors

All you need is a simple praser, like:

PHP Code:

$bodytag = str_replace("%body%", "black", "<body text='%body%'>");

Except you probably want something like:

PHP Code:

$bodytag = str_replace("\n", "<br>", $_POST['websitetext']);

(Obviously you will need to expand on that to filter out tabs, and other formating.)

so $bodytag is the variable to store the text that is entered in the "websitetext" object(text box object) ,am i right??

how am i then supposed to update the page which iam going to display( inside a frame) in the same page as the textbox should i use the echo "$bodytag" command ?

Yup.
You could always open the file with php and output to the textbox if you want to edit it.
Or if you just display it in a frame you could just iframe it, or if you want to it properly, you can open the file with php and store it all in a variable and echo (or print, whichever you prefer) the variable.
