Google Web Toolkit: Install RichTextArea for a PHP Application

Question

The Google Web Toolkit has gwt-RichTextArea, a simple but effective WYSIWYG editor. Now I would like to use this editor in my PHP application, but I don’t know how to implement it. I'm not sure, but it seems that this is only possible using JAVA. Tell me I'm wrong!

Answer 1

Everything that is created in GWT is eventually compiled into HTML, javascript and CSS, so you can use this control even if your application uses PHP. But you will need to know Java to create the original GWT application using a control RichTextToolbarthat can then be compiled into Javascript.

See this guide if you are new to GWT and this tutorial if you are also new to Java.
