Step 1- get text from database.
Step 2- echo it out as content in the TinyMCE textarea of your form.
Step 3- receive submitted content, clean it, and store it back in database.

I don't have any experience with TinyMCE but doesn't it just extend a standard Form textarea? If it does, then just process the form like you would any other standard form on your site.

You mean changing the action to a mysql insert function? (Update in this case)

The action should be a controller action that will call an "update" function in a model to process all the posted data and update your database.
