What im trying to create:
A php/html insite/browser editor.. youve all seen used something similar to geocities im sure..
Im trying to simulate the text area they use.. I have a client who wishes to update 3 sections of their site via an admin panel I have created without problem thus far.. they want to be able to dynamicly change a specific file as needed without having to log onto the ftp find the file upload the file etc.. they just want a simple copy and paste solution such as geocities offers.
Noramlly all would be good, but I have tryed an endless ammount of methods that would prevent them from messing up the front end entirely. All have failed, until I decided why not something like geocities. Well the problem is.. They want to be able to copy and paste from HTML/PHP editors like PHPEdit and Dreamweaver.
Now with a majority of html/php code i have tested this concept out with always always messes up the editor im currently trying to make.
I go along the lines of writing to an .html file as if it were a .txt file which works.. until code gets involved which when that happens 97% of the time the textarea breaks and the code to be displayed via the textarea starts tryin to display on the rest of the page.
So without having to create or find a system similar to posting code here on this form how could i get this to work? Anyone?
I have searched all over google for what I want but only to come up with close but no cigar.. and i dont want the code in the textarea to be broken down into alternitve things like " < > .. i would like it to display just as they pasted it.
