Re: Does ckeditor work in a php web page?

CKEditor does work on PHP sites. Look at your installation package, there are some PHP samples available in the "_samples/php" folder.

Documentation Manager, CKSource

See CKEditor 5 docs, CKEditor 4 docs, CKEditor 3 docs, CKFinder 3 docs, CKFinder 2 docs for help.
Visit the new CKEditor SDK for samples showcasing editor features to try out and download!

Re: Does ckeditor work in a php web page?

When I accessed the _samples page through my website there wasn't a link to the php folder, but I accessed it directly.

It's confusing because when you view source the php sample pages that have the editor, it shows them having a javascript script. But when you view the actual php sample pages there is no mention of any javascript script. Is this javascript script being called by the ckeditor.php (ckeditor_php4.php, ckeditor_php5.php) file?

So far I've not been able to get it to work.

This is a huge program that's hugely complicated. I know that the developers of this program have worked hard on it for years, which is evident by the hundreds of files that make up the program. It's impressive from a monumental perspective, but a much smaller, quicker and simpler application would be nice as an option.

I've already written a script that allows my client to easily upload a picture in their post - that resizes the big picture to a more web friendly size, makes a thumbnail and places it into their post (floating left or right as per their choice) and links to the bigger picture.

Being able to upload a picture into a post is huge and I've already seen to that. Now all I need is for my clients to have the ability of making a word bold, italicized (if they must) and to make a list. Just these three options would satisfy my needs.

Thanks for your help Anna.

I've tried that and the other examples, but it doesn't work.

I used openWYSIWYG and it works well, but it doesn't have a spell check feature and my ispell will not work in it. It'll underline misspelled words but it will not offer a correction in both the HTML and text view.

I would even settle for a decent BBcode editor like the one this forum uses.
