How we can get the content present in contentEditable in html format in PHP
For example i have this code and want to get its value in a variable in PHP:
<div contentEditable="true"> type here
<img src="http://t2.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcQCze-mfukcuvzKk7Ilj2zQ0CS6PbOkq7ZhRInnNd1Yz3TQzU4e&t=1" /></div>
because i want to use this as html body for an email.
Infact i want to get the value of contentEditable and save it into a variable and then use that variable as a body for my email. Any idea how to perform this task.
You'll need to store the contents of the element in a form element so it can be submitted to your PHP page.
I assume you want contenteditable
instead of textarea
for rich text... consider taking a look at WYSIWYG editors like TinyMCE instead.
If you still want to stick with your current method, you'll need some JS to copy the value of the div into a hidden form element before the page gets submitted.
HTML
<div id="emailcontent" contenteditable>asdf</div>
<form>
<input type="text" id="a" name="a"/>
<input type="submit" name="submit" id="submit" />
</form>
jQuery
$("#submit").click(function() {
$("#a").val($("#emailcontent").html());
});
DEMO
You can try something like this:
var form = document.createElement("form");
form.setAttribute('action','some.php');
form.setAttribute('method','POST');
form.setAttribute('target','_self');
form.setAttribute('enctype','application/x-www-form-urlencoded');
form.innerHTML = '<input type="hidden" name="emailData" value="'+
document.getElementById('yourdivid').innerHTML+'" />';
form.submit();
Then in your php retrieve POST
ed data:
$data = $_POST['emailData'];
If you want to use PHP maybe you can try to use php DomDocument
this is some example maybe same with want you want
