Hi there,
im currently learning php but need a little hand.
What i need is a code that pulls a text document online so that it can be edited online. similar to a File manager that you get on servers for web developing.
1- I need it to get the text,
2- Display the results,
3- able to edit, delete etc,
4- then save the new results

Well you could look at something like FCKeditor or tinyMCE for a start they are applets which let you edit text in a style similar to word, from there its a simple process of storing the information in a mysql table and then displaying it on a page, if you google for it you could probably find a good example.
There are many free CMS systems out there which do this job already if you are happy to use them. Joomla, openCMS, typeo3 to name a few, you could even go as far as using something like phpnuke or even wordpress or another blog system to manage this if you really wanted.
thank you

hi there, thanks for the reply.
I have got Joomla, but it didnt do what i want it to.
I also want to embed it into a html page if possible so would a script do it all for me. All i need is buttons, edit, and save

something like tinyMce or FCKeditor will handle being embeded to a page, but you need to write the code for the post page to store the edit in a database with them. Its basically as simple as using a textarea and storing it in a database, but you have the plugin load instead of the textarea, still sends text, just html which can be stored in a database for later use on your display page.
