Hello,

I am looking for a WYSIWYG editor for my php website. I was wondering if anyone had some suggestions as to which one I should get that will allow me to load and save data into a mysql database.

Also, if I recall correctly IPB uses an editor that was not made by them. If this is true, does anyone know which editor it is?

Thanks in advanced!

I quite like http://tinymce.moxiecode.com/ and http://www.fckeditor.net/.

You can then just take the form data and insert it into a database yourself, I don't think there's any editors that will automatically submit to a database.

Bear in mind that the data will still need to be escaped, and if JavaScript is turned off, a visitor is still able to insert HTML code, as well as styles and their own Javascript, which can pose a security risk to your application.

I knew about fckeditor, but I didn' t know about tinymce, it looks good, gonna check that one out.

I prefer FCK (it's quite extensible from what I've seen some people do with it) but it's not so cross-browser compatible (don't think it works in Safari, or didn't.)

LilJames, you haven't seen the modules that come prepackaged with TinyMCE, have you? There's also documentation on how to create extensions for it.

FCKeditor has a larger community base and is completely open source. I'd say the biggest benefit to it over TinyMCE is the image manager, but some people have converted that (as it's open source) to TinyMCE as a plugin.

Thanks for the replies. I was able to get TinyMCE working nicely.

By the way, IP.Board does useit's own proprietary editor. From what I understand, a similar editor will be in IP.Dynamic
