Help with php and mysql

As you've stated, you really need a lot of general help with this, more than what you're likely to get here... But I'll try and point you down the right path, for specifics your best tool will be google (the official online reference docs for both MySQL and PHP are -very- well done and useful.)

Your first step should be figuring out the database... For what it sounds like you're trying to do I'd recommend one table with a row for each page, with each row consisting of just a unique ID (an integer with AUTO_INCREMENT set) and a text field (not char or varchar.)

If you decide you need to have more in your database than that, read up on Normal Forms before creating any additional columns or tables.

Then you'll need to make your pages, figuring out the dynamics of how you're going to bo displaying the text, and how/where/when you'll be showing the editor.

Then actually get the editor working within your pages where you want it.

Then and only then, start figuring out how to 'wire up' the editor so that it loads text from the database (using a SELECT SQL statement) and how it updates the database with entered text (using the INSERT and UPDATE SQL statements)

It'll be a lot of work if you're just learning this as you go, and you'll need to address the concern of how to control who can edit the text on these static pages.

For your time, effort, and the speed of your page, it may very likely be best to just use static pages edited with a basic HTML editor (such as Mozilla Composer, Macromedia Dreamweaver, or Microsoft Frontpage)

It also might be helpful for you to use a simple HTML text field element to initially get text into/out of your database, and then upgrade to FCK once you have that working.
