in over my head?

Ok, a client wants a page on their site that they can update themselves. Im keeping it quite simple, but to update it, they go to a page where they can enter text and images (eg. "img='car.jpg'") then click submit and it writes to a database. The problem i have is this:

The page contents is in one large textbox, there is a menu with images in on teh right, when they choose an image and press "add" the page refreshes and the image is added to the textbox. This is fine, however, the images can only get added to the end of the textbox.. Im looking for a way where you can place the cursor somewhere in this text box and the image will appear where the cursor is when add is clicked. Same kinda system as used on this forum, with the IMG button etc. Sort of anyway. dont spose anyone can help?

Thanks in advance

If you have to ask then i'd say yah..😉

Actually if you notice, this forum adds everything to the end of the textbox too. No matter where your cursor is if you hit the IMG button the image will be added to the end of the text.

PLus i think javascript would be a much better way to do this than PHP.

Which has nothing to do with PHP. For IE 5.5+ users, vBulletin 3 will run "Microsoft Word in a box" if you select it, which will let you add smilies, formatting, etc. anywhere you want.

This particular aspect of your script, being able to insert the image tag anywhere they want, will definitely require Javascript.
