tinyMCE - how to handle image uploads
I have a site where people post news, it is written in PHP.
Up to now, people who post stories had a textarea for the text input, and a form field to upload an image for the story.
Now I am upgrading the site, and I am considering giving people more flexibility, so I plan to use a javascript WYSIWYG text editor.
After reviewing the most popoular, or at least the ones I found googling, I think tinyMCE is the best documented and thats why I think I'm going to go with it, though I've just worked with it for around 4-5 hours, so I don't really care if I'll have to switch to another editor.
When you drag-drop images in the textarea, tinyMCE encodes the image in base64 and uses it as the src attribute for the image tag.
I was wondering, is there a way to make tinyMCE upload the images to the server as files so that I can handle them with php (make thumbnails, name and store them as I wish)?
If not, is there an editor where that would be an option?

I recommend "Responsive File Manager"
Which is a free open-source file manager and image manager made with the jQuery library, CSS3, PHP and HTML5 that offers a nice and elegant way to upload and insert files, images and videos.
