noob help needed, passing variable in form ...

Hi all,
New to the board, and to fckeditor in general, so please go easy on me here!

I am having an issue and I've checked the docs. I am unable to find out what I am doing wrong

I have a form that users fill out and for the text portion, I decided to use fckEditor. My code for the form is as follows:

<form method="post" action="create2.php">
<input type="hidden" name="author" value="<?php echo $_SESSION['username'];?>">
<input type="hidden" name="isbeginning" value="1">
<input type="hidden" name="page" value="<?php echo RAND(1,10000000);?>">
<input type="hidden" name="end" value="0">
Title: <input type="text" size="20" name="title"><br><br>
Rating: <select name="rating">
   <option value="G">G - Everyone</option>
   <option value="PG">PG</option>
   <option value="R">R - Adults only</option>
   </select><br><br>
Start Typing! :<br>
<?php
$oFCKeditor = new FCKeditor('body') ;
$oFCKeditor->BasePath = '/fckedit/' ;
$oFCKeditor->Value = '' ;
$oFCKeditor->Create() ;
?>
<input type="submit" value="Submit your story!">
</form>

Now, everything is passed on to create2.php and that looks kind of like this: (Removed unneeded sections of code)

$title=mysql_real_escape_string( $_POST['title'] ) ;
$isbeginning=$_POST['isbeginning'];
$page=$_POST['page'];
$author=$_POST['author'];
$body== stripslashes( $_POST['body'] ) ; // BODY VARIABLE FROM FCKEDITOR
$rating=$_POST['rating'];
$end=$_POST['end'];

$sql = "select * from stories"; 
$query = mysql_query($sql);
while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($query)) {
if ($page==$row['page']) {
$page=RAND(1,10000000);
};
};
?>
You have added the following:
<br>
Title:  <?php echo $title;?><br>
Author: <?php echo $author;?><br>
Random Page #: <?php echo $page;?><br>
Your story:<br>
<?php echo $body;?><br>

Everything shows up fine, except for what was typed in the FckEditor, that is returned blank.

I looked at the samples, and they seem to say that this line:
$oFCKeditor = new FCKeditor('body') ;
is storing everything I type in the editor as $body variable and SHOULD be passing this along with the rest of the data in the form, but it's not working.

Please tell me what I am doing wrong here I really would prefer to use this instead of an ugly old text box.
