PHP/MySQL Help

Hi,

I need to create a way so that a user can edit the information (text) on a web site. I have everything being pulled from the database. But I am stuck and have been reading books and still can not figure it out.

When the user (admin) logs in, they can click on the page they want to edit, when opened, the text on that page is inserted into a text editor, and the user can edit that text. Then they can save the work, and the saved version will show up on the pages automatically.

Can someone help me? Give me links to a site that explains this all?

Thanks in advanced,
Laura

Put the contents into an HTML <textarea></textarea> tag. When they submit it, simply save it to the database -- depending on how PHP is setup, you'll probably want to do some checks to add or remove escape slashes that POST may insert in.
