I have a PHP web application inside where i need to have a rich text editor(with basic formating options) for my users to enter data in to the portal.

Can any one tell me how to do this ? Will there be any change in the database saving part since i am saving data in a mysql DB

Thanks in advance

FCKeditor is pretty good and is painlessly easy to use. Some simple javascript calls at page load and it'll magically replace textareas with RTEs. plus it runs well on browsers going all the way back to IE5.5. There should be no impact on your database assuming you are already prepared to cope with HTML coming in from your textareas...
