How to echo something in the FCKeditor

Hi,

I have used the FCKeditor to use in my news page admin. The adding a new news item works fine but when i have added a nes item i have added an edit link which take the user to an edit news page.

I used to have a simple text box which i would add

value="<?php echo $row_News['desc']; ?>"

and this would return the news description so that the user can make changes but i am stuck on how to do this with the FCKeditor?

Does anyone know how i can return the value in the editing box??

cheers in advance

Re: How to echo something in the FCKeditor

hi,
as far as i know you dont have to make a text field for the php editor. (i'm rebuilding an asp system using fck, i see an field there, so i think its php specific that you dont need it?).
i'm using this:

<?php
include("./fckeditor/fckeditor.php") ;
?>
           <tr>
              <td width="20%" class="menu">Bestandsnaam:</td>
              <td width="80%"><input name="bestandsnaam" type="text" class="menu" id="bestandsnaam" style="width:200" value="<?php echo $row_showcontent['naam']; ?>" maxlength="20">
                <span class="menu">max. 20 leestekens ! </span> </td>
            </tr>
            <tr>
              <td colspan="2" class="menu">
                 <div align="center" style="margin-top: 10px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
                <table width="100%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" id="editortable">
                <tr>
                  <td><?php
            // Automatically calculates the editor base path based on the _samples directory.
            // This is usefull only for these samples. A real application should use something like this:
            // $oFCKeditor->BasePath = '/fckeditor/' ;   // '/fckeditor/' is the default value.
            $oFCKeditor = new FCKeditor('FCKeditor1') ;
            $oFCKeditor->BasePath = 'fckeditor/';
            $oFCKeditor->Value      = $row_showcontent['content'];
            $oFCKeditor->Create() ;
            ?>                  </td>
                </tr>
              </table>
              </div>
              </td>
            </tr>

as you can see my content value is $row_showcontent['content']; without an echo and not in an text field.
in you case it would be something like this:

html form field1: []<br />
<?php
// Automatically calculates the editor base path based on the _samples directory.
// This is usefull only for these samples. A real application should use something like this:
// $oFCKeditor->BasePath = '/fckeditor/' ;   // '/fckeditor/' is the default value.
$oFCKeditor = new FCKeditor('FCKeditor1') ;
$oFCKeditor->BasePath = 'fckeditor/';
$oFCKeditor->Value      = $row_News['desc'];
$oFCKeditor->Create() ;
?>
<br />
html form field2: []<br />

this will add the editor. bevouse you dont have an text field with a name now, you couldnt see what post variable you could use when processing. This is "FCKeditor1".
so when processing you use
$_POST['field1'];
$_POST['FCKeditor1'];
$_POST['field2']
