I adapted one that I found written in ASP over to WebDNA:

http://www.garykrockover.com/editor/content_editor.html

The caveat with it and every editor that I've found that 
used a textarea, is that they are pretty much compatable 
in only IE on windows and maybe the latest versions of 
Netscape.  I haven't tried Firefox.  The reason is the DOM 
object in the iframe that most of these use and the 
ability to place focus within the frame.  IE can do it 
(only in windows) and that's about it.

In my readme I reference the source of the ASP editor - 
which would probably be fairly easy to convert to PHP if 
it looks like this would fit your needs.
