PHP / Javascript / RichTextEditor

[include_me]

Hi there,

I have a javascript rich text editor on a page which saves the contents of whats typed in into a txt file "links.txt"

my problem is, i want to load the contents of the txt file into the generate javascript richtextbox when the page loads?

is there any way of me doing this? i have posted my code below and put RTE where the links.txt should be loaded into..

can anyone help me shed some light on this?

<form name="richTexteditor" action="links.php" method="post" onsubmit="return submitForm();">
  <script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript">
	writeRichText('rte1','**RTE**', 400, 200, true, false);
  </script>
  <input type="submit" name="submit" class="button" value="Save Changes" />
  </form>

Thanks,
Chris

Hi,

I am assuming you save the links.txt on the server?
You can use file functions to read the contents in a variable, and then just echo that variable out at the position of RTE:

$cfile = $path_to-file."links.txt";
$fcontents = file( $cfile );  // Not sure, might have to use fopen/fread if this results in an array
writeRichText('rte1','<?echo $fcontents;?>', 400, 200, true, false);

I use this system. When the form is submitted , the data is entered into a database.
Where you have RTE is where the data is pulled back from the database. I added html_entity_decode() to stop it doing naughty things.
