Package to create a web page

by 8 replies

You often see tools/scripts where the user is able to
create an html type page. An example is right here when
you create a new forum post you have the option to select
for example bold, italic and all the other html effects.

I assume the software to enable this in a php system is
available in a package ?

If so are there free packages ?

Thanks

  • I guess you are talking about wysiwyg editor.

    Try to google "wysiwyg editor", you can find a bunch of editor, some are paid, but most are free.

    The editor itself do not require any PHP running, however, if you want to save the HTML page people are entering, you'd better use PHP to process.

  • Harvey, there are several forum and blog systems that include a visual editor - such as Wordpress and myBB. If you're handy with code editing, you could just extract what you need from one of their editor pages. An advantage of using one of these pages is that they've been vigorously developed over many years, based on the experience of countless users.

    Do you already have a database where the user comments will go?

    I'm curious what your application is going to be.

      It's a planned enhancement to one of my systems -
      allowing a user to edit an html page (held on a
      database).

      I just wanted to be sure before contracting out the work
      that a programmer could simply call up a software library
      to handle this.
