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'] ) ;
