You can actually plug a tinyMCE on your PHP page and make it appear normal, it just shows and use the text area once in edit mode(together with the editing buttons)...

My site has an actual tinyMCE plug within it...

If you wanted to edit online your options are limited, 'file manager' is apart of the php addon range and even comes with cpanel (or one of them) but you have to open and edit the pages in there seperatly, can't link to it.

The other way is to edit offline and just ftp the changed files. download and install a php/mysql/apache bundle (many have auto installers these days) so you can run your php pages offline and ideally get yourself a text editor like editpad that has tabs (i've had hundreds of files open in that at one time).

The other way which isn't an easy way is to recreate all your pages and set them all up as variables so as you can edit them online, requires a lot of work though.

Thanks.. but this TinyMCE seems to not be what I had in mind..

I'd like the page to look quite normal, unless you choose to go into "edit mode"

with Tiny MCE, it seems only content in your text area is editable. TinyMCE seems to be PHP/crossplatform , and quite cool for what it does !

I forgot but heres an ASP, TinyMCE, just search for it in google...

ooops.. no CMS

sorry.. I should have mentioned.. we're very happy with the current setup/layout, and don't really have the time to port everything over to a CMS

could you tell me about the php script you know about ?

I would rather keep the pages we have and put a link at the bottom of them.

(ideally to open the page in a wysiwyg-like editor!!)

I'd be willing to pay for the right tool

thanks,
Steven

use a CMS (content management system)...
If not, i found this php script before you could insert on pages to make it easily editable...
