Help With Reading a File then Editing it

Hi.

Let me first start by explaining the goal.

I would like to be able to edit a newsletter. The newsletter is an html file. That html file is stored on the server. User's access this html file on a daily basis by going to a web address. I would like to setup a sort of admin page that contain CKEditor. When that admin page loads I want CKEditor to open the html file stored on the server. I want to then edit the html file and have the option where it saves it back on the server.

Does this make since?

Any help is greatly appreciated.

How do I get CKEditor to open an html file that is stored on the server, edit the html file in CKEditor, then save it back on the server?

You won't. This is not the task of the editor, this is your task. The editor receives and POSTs content only. The rest is really upto you.

An example with PHP

Setup the editor like this:

<form action="example.php" method="post">      
<textarea cols="80" id="editor1" name="editor1" rows="10">&nbsp;</textarea> 
...
<input type="submit" value="Submit">
</form>

Then, upon hitting the submit button "example.php" is called. In this file you need to store something like:

<?php 
$postArray = &$_POST;
$x=fopen("OLDFilename.htm", "w");
fwrite($x, $postArray["editor1"]);
fclose($x);
?>
