output plain text

Hi folks,
I have a problem with FCKEditor. I'm using it as a newsletter and want to save templates to my database.
All functions are working I just have a problem that the FCKEditor text is saved as plain text. Even not the tags are there.
If i write some test text (as well bold and italic) and try to save it, it will be saved as the following:
 alsidhjaogieh
 
aeogihae
aeoigh

The same problem I got with my other FCKEditor on the same webpage to send the newsletter. It sends in the same format.
The webpage is UTF-8 charset and I'm testing from a MAC (newest Safari and FF).

Thank you very much for any help!
Cheers

Re: output plain text

When I test it with the _sample it gets the HTML code out. I changed the layout and the toolbar and use the silver Editor. And now when I implemented it it does not work anymore.
Does anyone have an idea how I can get the HTML code of what I'm entering into the editor?

Thanks for help!

Re: output plain text

Hi there,
I found a way to get the HTML code as an output. But now I got another problem. My database is in utf-8 encoded as well my page itself where the editor is used is as utf-8 encoded.
Does the Editor give the output in latin1 formatting? because when I try to send an HTML formatted email using the editor i recieve the following:

&lt;p&gt;Test &lt;b&gt;bold text.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;i&gt;incremental text&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Thanks for you attention&lt;/p&gt;

I get the same output if I want to save it in my database. Does anyone know if this is caused by the encoding and if and how I can change the encoding of my editor or is there another reason that there is not the proper code?
When I open the database entry in the editor again (as a template) then I see the proper HTML code but its written as a text and not correct formatted...

<p>Test <b>bold text.</b></p> <p><i>incremental text</i></p> <p>Thanks for you attention</p>

Any ideas? Sorry, I'm using this editor my first time and I really love it... But it's not working proper yet...
Regards,
Ise

Re: output plain text

Thanks for the help :roll:
Maybe someone helps it later. The solution is the following:

htmlspecialchars_decode()
