text editor

[rakennedy75]

I am looking at building a basic text editor. Right now I just have it where I can write to a file but I would like to allow the user to highlight text and add html characters to the beginning of the highlight and end. Example would be a bold tag or italic tag. I hope this makes sense.

I have no idea where to start with this or if it is even possible with php. Any ideas, tutorials, or direction would be extremely helpful.

Thanks for your time

Your probably going to want to look into javascript for doing a web page-based editor (Thats what it sounds like). You'd probably want to incorporate PHP for file opening and things like that.

Look for "texteditor"

Very neat little javascript editor
