FCK Editor won't appear in my dynamic page...

The site I am currently working on is created using PHP with a MySQL database. The site has been designed to work in one page calling information from the database based on parameters passed back to the page.

The content management piece calls the information from the database into the editor. In the underlying source code the content for whichever page we are trying to edit is visible. It has been called successfully from the database. However, we are only able to edit the content on one page within the site. Unfortunately, we have not seen a similar problem anywhere in the forums, bugs, or support sections.

Our code is as follows:

<form action="lib/u/contentsubmit_sql.php"
method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data"
name="contentedit" id="contentedit">

<input type="hidden" name="pageid" value="<?php
echo("$data->ID"); ?>"/>

<input class="text" type="text" name="heading"

value="<?php echo("$data->heading"); ?>" /><br />

<script type="text/javascript">
var oFCKeditor = new FCKeditor( 'content' ) ;

oFCKeditor.Value = '<?php echo ($data->content); ?>' ;

oFCKeditor.Create() ;
</script>


<input class="submit" type="submit" name="submit"
value="submit" />
</form>

Has anyone come across this or similar problem before?

Any help or links to possible solutions would be
greatly appreciated.

Thanks for your assistance.

RE: FCK Editor won't appear in my dynamic page...

I have found the problem with my particular dilemma. I didn't realize there was a character limit to the editor. When I tested with shorter bits of content, the editor worked fine.

Now I just have to find a way to configure the editor to accept more characters.

Thanks for your efforts.

UH OH!! I haven't run into this, that I KNOW of, yet ... What is the limit that you found? We sometimes have large docs, and I'd be interested in helping finding the answer ...

RE: FCK Editor won't appear in my dynamic pag

I've been working with the editor for a few weeks now, and I've gotten a pretty good handle on what it can and can't do. The problem I thought I had with character limit was actually like Derzbach said, a matter of carriage returns.

Here is a solution which we found for that particular problem. Place this code immediately above the textarea in your form.

<?php function RemoveCarriage($strText) {
    //returns safe code for preloading
    $tmpString = trim($strText);
    
    //replace carriage returns & line feeds
    $tmpString = str_replace(chr(10), " ", $tmpString);
    $tmpString = str_replace(chr(13), " ", $tmpString);
    
    return $tmpString;
}
$info = RemoveCarriage($data->content);
?>

problem is not the character limit

in my case the problemoccures if the Calue has more then one line...

if you check your source perhaps its the same problem in your case, you have to strip out the linefeeds

$info = RemoveCarriage($data->content);
?>

I have found another problem that I am currently trying to work through. Apostrophe's. If I type an apostrophe into the data I wish to upload to the database, it gets uploaded. However If I wish to edit that piece again the editor will not appear. If I paste an apostrophe, it works just fine.
