I am looking for something very similar to this helpful tool, but for use on a PHP site:

<snipped url>

Does anyone have any suggestions this one looks really good.

What you are referring to is commonly called a Rich Text Editor (RTE). There are quite a few open source projects out there that will work cross-browser. One I notice mentioned quite often is TinyMCE.

Yeah TinyMCE is the bomb. It's used in lots of open source CMSs as well as being taken and modified for corporate and enterprise CMSs.

FCK Editor is also excellent.

Oooo FCK Editor looks nice! I wonder which is better! TinyMCE is nice, but making plug-ins is difficult

In my opinion I'd use FCKeditor wherever possible and only use
tinyMCE for projects where the end user is using safari or *shudder* mac explorer.

Ahhh! We are back on the RT editor road again :)
I like including SPAW (nicely cross browser)
with the iBrowser plugin
I used it in quite a few projects (I was at a time involved with that plugin add on to Spaw)

BUT I quite changed my acts on the topic
I got tired of trying to format what's formated by the editor
And getting rid of tons of <p> and other goodies….

I more and more use pure CSS and many of those editors will break some code section

I am totally happy with my own humb application and using a simple <TEXT AREA> from which I can format nicely any input

Plus, it's way faster and no one will say I borrowed it or part of.
