How do i use ckeditor.

I downloaded it, and extracted followed the guide on how to load and configure
ckeditor, but. It doesn't explain on how it saves. This is what is one the guide.

As stated above, the editor works just like a field. This means that when submitting a form containing an editor instance, its data will be simply posted, using the element name as the key to retrieve it.

For example, following the above example, we could create the following PHP code:

<?php
    $editor_data = $_POST[ 'editor1' ];
?>

I don't know where to save this.

could someone provide a detailed howto?

Thanks in advanced :)

You don't need to use the PHP method since you can call upon the replace within a SCRIPT. Checkout the below code.

Try this

<html>
<head>
<title>Sample CKEditor Site</title>
<script type="text/javascript" src="/ckeditor/ckeditor.js"></script>
</head>
<body>
<form method="post">
    <p>
        My Editor:<br />
        <textarea id="editor1" name="editor1">&lt;p&gt;Initial value.&lt;/p&gt;</textarea>
        <script type="text/javascript">
            CKEDITOR.replace( 'editor1' );
        </script>
    </p>
    <p>
        <input type="submit" />
    </p>
</form>
