If you want to do this the hard way (for you) then you can create a form which asks for the number of rows/columns and pops up another form with a table and rows x columns input boxes - then you can build the table code and maybe even insert it in the original code via JavaScript (assuming that the whole tables module would be a popup from the main text editing page).
You may want to take a look at nl2br() and htmlspecialchars() so they don't mess up your tables. htmlspecialchars() would obviously inhibit bold and italics rendering. Be warned though that this will never end - they'll need table editing next, then they'll want to be able to delete rows/columns, insert rows/columns, merge cells, split cells, set background colors, styles and whatnot... ;-) HTH Bogdan mikeyb wrote: >I am completely stuck, and I am preying that someone will be able to help me. > >I have set up a php web form that allows one of my users to write columns for my >site.
