I need a rich textarea in which we have the option to insert images from the local file-system and upload it to the server (also S3 – but it can done with a background task).
I am currently using tinymce but it does not have the feature to insert image from the local filesystem.
What can I use to get such a functionality?
NB – I am using PHP as the backend.
CKeditor seems quite good. I used it some time ago and it developed since… You would have to buy CKFinder probably (for $59 per Website…)
… and then there are the TinyMCE Plugins for this that cost almost the same:

If you are looking for a free plugin to TinyMCE or CKEditor with local file browsing google for TinyMCE and iBrowser, TinyFCK, Kae’s File Manager, Ajax File Manager, TinyBrowser. (I got the list from http://www.tyssendesign.com.au). I would go with the Tiny Browser or the Ke’s Filemanager and keep TinyMCE because its already there (But Do have a look at CKEditor – its quite good and those two filemanagers can plug into it too)
