Completely confused...

I REALLY, REALLY apologize for this basic and stupid question, but....

I am assuming this is something I can use to allow my users to edit pages on our internal website themselves. Here are my questions:

1. Is my assumption correct?

2. Does that mean that I need to re-create our internal website as a database driven site?

2a. If so, then how do you call the data up inside the editor?

3. If not, then how do I get the body of the page to load in the editor and then how do I tell the editor to save into the body of the same page?

Thanks very much for your time and assistance.

include_once("fckeditor/fckeditor.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() ;

Re: Completely confused...

Using the included PHP sample, you need to create a PHP file called 'sampleposteddata.php' to process your form output, storing the field 'FCKeditor1' to database or file.

Storing to file in PHP is accomplished using the fopen, fwrite, and fclose calls. You have to be sure you're only allowing authorized users to edit, that you're storing to a fixed location, and that no-one can alter the location to something undesired by altering the script return values; otherwise you open up your site to hackers.
