[php]Text box with formatting

[wickedgenius]

I'm trying to get something like what the forums are using for a textbox where someone can enter some text and click a button to make different formatting apply to the selected text. This is exactly the same as the forums but it must be able to save into a mysql text field and it needs to be in html tags rather than bb. I'm not bothered about smilies they can or cannot be included but not is better(less work for me). If anyone knows anything like this that I can download and include in my site or if someone can make one then I would be very grateful.

Thanks in advace.

HTML tags

you can edit like using dreamweaver or something. insert tables visually, etcetera. or, you can choose to see the html output and edit that way. say you already have some html in dreamweaver, notepad, or something else, you can past it in the html edit box, and click apply to have it show up, and then submit it to the DB.
