Can fck editor save to a string variable?

Hello,
I am trying to implement fckeditor for the first time. I have seen an example of fck editor saving the html in a file but can it save the html in a php variable? I need to save the html to a string variable and then save the value in the database. Could someone kindly post back with a small example. Many thanks in advance.

Re: Can fck editor save to a string variable?

in php you use:

<?php
$oFCKeditor = new FCKeditor('FCKeditor1') ;
$oFCKeditor->BasePath = '/fckeditor/' ;
$oFCKeditor->Value = '<p>This is some <strong>sample text</strong>. You are using <a href="http://www.fckeditor.net/">FCKeditor</a>.</p>' ;
$oFCKeditor->Create() ;
?>

Then, to get your variable, try:

$sValue = stripslashes( $_POST['FCKeditor1'] ) ;

Hope that helps.

I figured it out. Thanks. I was calling create() before setting the variable. Couple of other questions, why do have use include() instead of require_once()? And why do I have to use relative urls?
