Re: Best way to allow a user to indicate formatting to be displayed but stored.

Thank you all for the information... however at a second look I realized that I failed to better describe my needs... My current plan is to have a series of articles and information stored in my database... The table will have a ID, Title, Author, Image, Content, Date/Time What I would like to have is say someone needs to do a sub heading... I would like to have it automatically be the same subheading format for all of the content... in addition to the formatting... Also... I saw one refer to PEAR, since I am on a shared server is there a way to test if pear is available... (never worked with it and am still new to PHP sorry) thanks On Wed, 29 Sep 2004 13:51:41 -0400, GH <garyhotko@gmail.com> wrote: > I am looking for the best way to have a user enter information and > format it ... i.e. Bold, Italics, etc... with out havng to use the > HTML commands... > > Using PHP4. > > Any suggestions... >
