FCKeditor (which really stands for Fred CK Editor) is a javascript based html editor. It doesn't look dissimilar to Microsoft Word built into a website. It allows you to nicely format text that you can insert into your database.
I've been testing it to see if I can make use of it in my yet to be started admin panel. So far I've been very happy with it. There are only two problems with it:
- It doesn't do br tags correctly. Although this can be easily fixed with a string_replace before I enter it into the database
- It doesn't work in Safari, which is a bit of a pain. But it works in Firefox which runs on everything so that is okay.
There is also a Source button that you can click to view the source code of the text you are writing, which can be useful. Also it is very easy to integrate into php web sites.
There is a demo
here if you're interested.
