It is very easy to use FCKeditor in your php web pages. Just follow these steps.

Integration step by step

Step 1

The first thing to do is to include the "PHP Integration Module" file in the top of your page as in the example below:

<?php
include_once("fckeditor/fckeditor.php") ;
?>

Of course the include path refers to the place where you have installed your FCKeditor.

Step 2

Now the FCKeditor is available and ready to use. So, just insert the following code in your page to create an instance of the editor inside a <FORM>:

<?php
$oFCKeditor = new FCKeditor('FCKeditor1') ;
$oFCKeditor->BasePath = '/fckeditor/' ;
$oFCKeditor->Value = '<p>This is some <strong>sample text</strong>. You are using <a href="http://www.fckeditor.net/">FCKeditor</a>.</p>' ;
$oFCKeditor->Create() ;
?>

Step 3

The editor is now ready to be used. Just open the page in your browser to see it at work.

Complete Sample

<?php
include_once("fckeditor/fckeditor.php") ;
?>
<html>
<head>
  <title>FCKeditor - Sample</title>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8">
</head>
<body>
  <form action="sampleposteddata.php" method="post" target="_blank">
<?php
$oFCKeditor = new FCKeditor('FCKeditor1') ;
$oFCKeditor->BasePath = '/fckeditor/' ;
$oFCKeditor->Value = '<p>This is some <strong>sample text</strong>. You are using <a href="http://www.fckeditor.net/">FCKeditor</a>.</p>' ;
$oFCKeditor->Create() ;
?>
    <br>
    <input type="submit" value="Submit">
  </form>
</body>
</html>

"FCKeditor1" is the name used to post the editor data on forms.

Handling the posted data

The editor instance just created will behave like a normal <INPUT> field in a form. It will use the name you've used when creating it (in the above sample, "FCKeditor1"). So, if you have magic quotes enabled, retrieve its value by doing something like this:

$sValue = stripslashes( $_POST['FCKeditor1'] ) ;

Additional information

  • You can find some samples on how to use the editor in the "_samples/php" directory of the distributed package.

You can assign /FCKeditor_2.x/Developers_Guide/Configuration/Configuration_Options Configuration Options using the Config array.

<?php
$oFCKeditor = new FCKeditor('FCKeditor1') ;
$oFCKeditor->BasePath = '/fckeditor/' ;
//set the EnterMode to "br" (overwrites the default configuration from fckconfig.js)
$oFCKeditor->Config['EnterMode'] = 'br';
$oFCKeditor->Value = '<p>This is some <strong>sample text</strong>. You are using <a href="http://www.fckeditor.net/">FCKeditor</a>.</p>' ;
$oFCKeditor->Create() ;
?>
