Been staring at this all night and I can't seem to figure out where it's going wrong. Basically I have implemented a content management system tutorial I found. I want to add tinyMCE so users of the system can post articles or whatever and allow them a bit of customisation, it worked fine previously, now i've added tinyMCE, the information in one section does not seem to be passed in. Is there something stupid I am missing? I realise the pagebody textbox isn't assigned a value but I tinkered with that and had no joy. A point in the right direction would be very much appreciated. The textarea in question is called 'pagebody,' here is my code:
This is to create a new page with the information provided but it fails when the user clicks the 'create new page' button. It hits the validate alert button. I removed a filter on another page which allowed me to create the new page, but the element used to hold the pagebody text was empty despite me entering data. Here is the parse page the form is submitted to:
Code:
<?php
session_start();
include_once "admin_check.php";
?>
