WYSIWYG Editor for PHP

[maxudaskin]

Is it possible to create a textbox that uses highlight_string() to output an HTML code into a textbox that appears to the user as coloured PHP text. When the user edits it, it is saved as plain text.

 

This code:

<?php
$foo = 'bar';
echo $foo;
?>

 

Would look like this in the textbox:

<?php

$foo = 'bar';

echo $foo;

?>

 

But would still save as plain text. So even if they changed it, it would save as plain text, but after each text change, it would re-colour it so that any new text would be coloured.

No, you would need a javascript based editor.
