What is the best free online wysiwyg editor I could embed to my client's website?

Question

Hey,

I've checked Stackoverflow and found this question/discussion: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/98852/wysiwyg-text-editor-for-webpage

Important:

However, I'm looking for something that comes with special "administration panel" -> So it behaves more like CMS (in backend mode).

I'm rewriting other's programmer code which is pretty much uncommented (He'll burn in Hell for That), and I need something very simple, so I install some backend onto hosting, plus add function or include to code and place the text-specific codes into website code.

Thanks' soo much for your answers.

Edit: PHP and MySQL required.

Answer 1

I've had good experience with FreeTextBox

Answer 2

Is there really nothing I'm looking for ?

Answer 3

The FCKeditor should work with PHP, and it's a solid WYSIWYG editor.

Answer 4

TinyMCE is very clean, and configurable, but it's extremely difficult Javascript code to penetrate (Firebug is useless against it) while there are quite a few bugs.

Answer 5

The YUI Rich Text Editor could also work.

Answer 6

It relies on ActiveX which is a nightmare if you're working with clients in a locked down IT infrastructure but we've had great success with XStandard. The markup is the cleanist i've seen around and the ability to copy and paste images from Word has to be a winner.

I've never tried it with PHP but a quick search seems to suggest it's possible.

Very simple to install and online documentation is concise.

Answer 7

wyzz is also an lightweight editor, and its code more readable. If you are looking for simplicity.

Answer 8

I used FCKeditor because it work with php but I still not satisfied with it, sometimes it add a dump useless html code which need you to view source to clean them up there are also lots of settings before it work fine

Answer 9
