Hi All,
I have made simple CMS with PHP/MYSQL. It make use of TinyMCE as Javascript editor. I can delete as well as add the contents. But How can I load the contents from database to TinyMCE for editing and saving? Here is my PHP code to add contents using TinyMCE (No database connections population et cetera)

<br />

<form method="post" action="/site/insert.php">
<label for="title"><b> Article Title:</b></label><br />
<input name="heading" id="title" type="text" maxlength="150" /> 
<br />  <br />   
<div style="width:100%; height:100%; "> 
<label for="title"><b>Article Message:</b></label><br />
	<textarea name="contents" style="width:100%; height:400px; ">
	</textarea>
	<br /> 
	<INPUT type="submit" value="Save"/>

</form>
</div>
<?php
# Using SCRIPT_NAME

//$path = $_SERVER['SCRIPT_NAME'];

//echo "Path To Script Example: <a href='$path'>An Article Title</a>";

?>
</body>
</html>

Pretty simple. Fetch the data from the database and place it between <textarea> tags. Here is an example.

<?php
if(isset($_POST['save'])) {
	print "<pre>";
	print_r($_POST);
	print "</pre>";
}
?>

OOops! That beautiful image uploader isn't there in latest version (ckeditor) and they say until version 3.1? Very bad!

Now can anyone help me up and running on how to make image uploader?

Hi man!

I add the code complete to nav33 (Thank you :)

You need create a
database: editor
table: id
colum: id and content, and fill whit this values: id=1 and content= hello man

Also download and unzip the editor pack in your folder of your website

CHAGE THE PASSWORD OF THE CODE according your mysql

index.php

<?php
if(isset($_POST['save'])) {
    print "<pre>";
    print_r($_POST);
    print "</pre>";
