    Hey Tony,
    The editor you're seeking for is called as WYSIWYG (What you see is what you get) editors! It's best editors to provide a better content editing platform to the users.
    for your project, I would like to suggest you to go with a CKEditor .
    Here is a quick tutorial for you. It learns you to Integrate your CKEditor with PHP.
    Hope it helps you.
    Thanks
