Hi All,
I am a beginner in php and working on admin side of a small website. I have attached a PHP CKEDITOR to the admin page so that the admin may edit the pages text. Here, i am a bit confused about one thing and that is about how i can connect the CKEditor with mySQL database so that whatever text or HTML tags or images of CKEDITOR should be populated to the database.
Please help me to clear my concept!
Grateful to you for your time!
Thanks!
Bye.
If you have a textarea with the name of "content", and replace that with an instance of a CKEditor, then when the form is submitted, there will be a $_POST item.
If you're instantiating the editor via PHP & not Javascript, then I'm sure there's a parameter somewhere to set the name of the field.
ok! Thanks for you reply and time!
What do you suggest, should i attach Javascript CKEDITOR and give it an instance name to get it to work!?
Well there is an officially supported PHP wrapper, so both/either should work. I think the site says that Javascript is the preferred method, but I think it's a matter of personal preference.
This is an example how to add it!!!Its my update page!
