Hi ppl.
I am relativly new to using PHP and javascript although i know a little, and i have ran into some problems using three different wyiswyg editors in my html/PHP pages.
So far i have tried FCK, Tiny MCE and Innova studios version and i have had the same problem with each.
As far as the integration goes all have shown up fine and posted the data to the required output pages either with textareas or a div set with an ID.
The problem is whenever i close my browser and return to the output page the stuff i have posted has gone, in other words it isnt retaining the data i have posted. Can somone please tell me why this is? Is it because i need to attach an SQL database to handle the posted data, or is it just a simple line of code that is needed within the configuration to tell it to save?
I have searched everywhere i can think of to find the soloution for this and am now out of ideas. If you need any more information please post and i will do what i can.
Thanks in advance to anyone who can help me with this problem.

RE: Does this need a DB?
kaeverens post i now understand what is required to make this work with a DB and understand (at least part way) how it works.
I just have one more thing i need help with, Can someone point me in the direction of a tut that will tell me what settings i need to configure my database with, I am using PHPMyadmin to set up the DB and im lost with all the different settings for the tables and fields lol.
Thanks again for any help with this.
RE: Does this need a DB?
I don't want to subvert this forum to a completely off-topic subject, but all you need is the username, password, server, and database.
Until you have written a few DB apps, I would not recommend trying to take it all on at the same time. Get your host to provide a database for you. They will give you the above details.
Please don't try setting up your own database server until you are comfortable using an existing database. Otherwise, you will probably end up with something that half-works, but you can't tell which half is broken (client or server).
To cut down on your MySQL education, try only using a few of the various "types" out there - use int and text. Ignore everything else until you are comfortable with your coding.
If you have any specific questions, you can email me with them (kae@verens.com), but please only ask me questions when you are really stuck and have not found the answer online. I will probably reply with a list of pages to look at.
If you are unsure of anything, then find a tutorial about it and actually do write out the code examples and play with them.
RE: Does this need a DB?
But the penny has dropped now and i realise it should have been obvious to me, seeing as there is a php setup and now i have looked at some tuts to make it work with a DB =).
Thanks for the offer of help, but now i know where to look i will probably be ok, but if i do get really stuck i give you a shout and it is greatly appreciated.
