When developing a PHP-based website, CMS, knowledgebase, blog, customer portal, ticketing system, or administration panel, users often need to enter formatted content.

A standard HTML <textarea> accepts plain text but does not provide convenient formatting controls.

For example, users may want to:

• Make text bold
• Make text italic
• Create headings
• Create numbered or bulleted lists
• Insert hyperlinks
• Insert images
• Create tables
• Align text
• Add blockquotes
• View or edit HTML source
• Insert code samples
• Change text formatting
• Undo and redo changes

A WYSIWYG editor solves this problem.

WYSIWYG stands for:

What You See Is What You Get

Instead of manually typing HTML such as:

<h2>Installation Guide</h2>
<p>This is an <strong>important</strong> instruction.</p>

the user works with an interface similar to a word processor while the editor generates the underlying HTML.

Two popular options for PHP applications are:

1. TinyMCE
2. Trumbowyg

This guide explains how they work, how to integrate them with PHP, how to store their content in MySQL, how to edit previously saved content, and—most importantly—how to handle the generated HTML securely.

1. Does PHP Need a Special WYSIWYG Editor?

Technically, the editor itself normally runs in the user's web browser using JavaScript.

PHP does not directly create the editing interface.

The architecture normally looks like this:

Browser
   ↓
HTML Textarea
   ↓
JavaScript WYSIWYG Editor
   ↓
Generated HTML
   ↓
HTML Form Submission
   ↓
PHP
   ↓
Validation / Sanitization
   ↓
MySQL Database

Therefore:

WYSIWYG editor = Front-end editor

while:

PHP + MySQL = Back-end processing and storage

2. TinyMCE vs Trumbowyg

Both editors perform the same basic job but target somewhat different requirements.

Feature	TinyMCE	Trumbowyg
Rich text editing	Yes	Yes
Toolbar customization	Extensive	Yes
Plugins	Extensive	Available
Tables	Yes	Plugin/configuration dependent
Images	Yes	Yes
Links	Yes	Yes
HTML/source editing	Yes	Yes
Large CMS projects	Excellent	Good
Lightweight interface	Moderate	Excellent
jQuery required	No	Yes
Advanced configuration	Excellent	Moderate
Best suited for	CMS, KB, portals, advanced applications	Lightweight forms and admin panels

General recommendation

Choose TinyMCE when developing:

• Knowledgebase systems
• CMS platforms
• Blog administration systems
• Documentation portals
• Large content-management applications
• Advanced admin panels

Choose Trumbowyg when you want:

• A lightweight editor
• Simple formatting
• Small JavaScript footprint
• Quick integration
• An editor for an application already using jQuery

3. Adding TinyMCE to a PHP Page

TinyMCE can transform an ordinary <textarea> into a rich text editor.

A basic textarea might be:

<textarea name="content" id="editor"></textarea>

TinyMCE attaches itself to this element.

4. Include TinyMCE

For Tiny Cloud deployments, obtain an API key from TinyMCE and use it in the script URL.

Example:

<script
src="https://cdn.tiny.cloud/1/YOUR_API_KEY/tinymce/8/tinymce.min.js"
referrerpolicy="origin"
crossorigin="anonymous">
</script>

Replace:

YOUR_API_KEY

with your actual Tiny Cloud API key.

Important

Older tutorials frequently contain:

no-api-key

This should not be treated as the recommended production configuration for Tiny Cloud.

Alternatively, developers can investigate self-hosting TinyMCE when that deployment/licensing model is appropriate for their project.

5. Basic TinyMCE Editor

Create your form:

<form method="post" action="save.php">

    <label>Article Title</label>
    <input type="text" name="title" required>

    <label>Article Content</label>

    <textarea name="content" id="editor"></textarea>

    <button type="submit">Save Article</button>

</form>

Initialize TinyMCE:

<script>
tinymce.init({
    selector: '#editor',
    height: 500,
    menubar: true,
    plugins: 'advlist autolink lists link image charmap preview anchor searchreplace visualblocks code fullscreen insertdatetime media table help wordcount',
    toolbar: 'undo redo | styles | bold italic underline | alignleft aligncenter alignright alignjustify | bullist numlist outdent indent | link image table | code fullscreen preview'
});
</script>

TinyMCE will replace the textarea visually with the editor.

6. Understanding the TinyMCE Configuration

selector

selector: '#editor'

This tells TinyMCE which HTML element should become editable.

It corresponds to:

<textarea id="editor"></textarea>

height

height: 500

Sets the editor height.

plugins

Example:

plugins: 'lists link image table code fullscreen preview wordcount'

Plugins extend the functionality of TinyMCE.

Depending on the installed/versioned features, plugins can provide capabilities such as:

• Lists
• Hyperlinks
• Images
• Tables
• Source code editing
• Full-screen editing
• Preview
• Word count
• Search and replace
• Media
• Character maps

toolbar

Example:

toolbar: 'undo redo | bold italic | bullist numlist | link image | code'

This controls which buttons appear on the editor toolbar.

The | character visually separates groups of controls.

7. Receiving TinyMCE Content in PHP

When the form is submitted, TinyMCE synchronizes the generated HTML with the textarea.

PHP can therefore receive it normally:

$content = $_POST['content'] ?? '';

For example, if the user enters:

Welcome to our Knowledgebase

PHP may receive HTML similar to:

<p><strong>Welcome to our Knowledgebase</strong></p>

8. Do Not Blindly Echo WYSIWYG Content

A common but potentially dangerous example is:

$content = $_POST['content'] ?? '';

echo $content;

This may be unsafe when content can be supplied by an untrusted or compromised user.

Why?

Because WYSIWYG editors generate HTML.

Malicious HTML can potentially lead to:

Cross-Site Scripting (XSS).

Therefore, adding a WYSIWYG editor does not remove the requirement for server-side security.

9. WYSIWYG Security: The Most Important Part

Suppose an attacker manages to submit dangerous markup.

If the application stores and later renders malicious HTML without appropriate controls, the browser could execute unwanted code.

Possible consequences of XSS include:

• Session compromise
• Account impersonation
• Malicious redirects
• Page modification
• Unauthorized actions
• Theft of information available to browser scripts
• Injection of unwanted external content

Therefore:

Never consider the WYSIWYG editor itself to be your security boundary.

Client-side restrictions can improve usability, but security controls must also exist on the server/application side.

10. HTML Sanitization vs HTML Escaping

This distinction is extremely important.

Suppose your editor generates:

<p>This is <strong>important</strong>.</p>

If you run:

echo htmlspecialchars($content);

the browser displays the HTML source instead of formatting it.

You may see:

<p>This is <strong>important</strong>.</p>

instead of a formatted paragraph.

This happens because escaping is intended to display HTML as text.

For rich-text content, you normally need HTML sanitization, where permitted formatting is retained while dangerous markup, attributes, URLs, or scripts are removed.

A sanitizer can be configured around an allowlist such as:

p
br
strong
em
ul
ol
li
h2
h3
h4
blockquote
a
table
thead
tbody
tr
td
th

The exact policy should depend on what your application genuinely needs.

11. Do Not Build a Security Filter with Simple str_replace()

Avoid approaches such as:

$content = str_replace('<script>', '', $content);

This is not a reliable HTML security strategy.

Attackers can use many different HTML structures, encodings, attributes, URLs, and browser behaviours.

Use a well-maintained HTML sanitization solution designed for this purpose and keep it updated.

12. Store TinyMCE Content in MySQL

A database table might contain:

CREATE TABLE articles (
    id INT AUTO_INCREMENT PRIMARY KEY,
    title VARCHAR(255) NOT NULL,
    content LONGTEXT NOT NULL,
    created_at TIMESTAMP DEFAULT CURRENT_TIMESTAMP
);

LONGTEXT is useful when articles can become large.

13. Use PDO Prepared Statements

Do not construct SQL like this:

$sql = "INSERT INTO articles VALUES ('$title','$content')";

Instead, use prepared statements.

Example:

<?php

$pdo = new PDO(
    "mysql:host=localhost;dbname=knowledgebase;charset=utf8mb4",
    "dbuser",
    "dbpassword",
    [
        PDO::ATTR_ERRMODE => PDO::ERRMODE_EXCEPTION
    ]
);

$title   = trim($_POST['title'] ?? '');
$content = $_POST['content'] ?? '';

$stmt = $pdo->prepare(
    "INSERT INTO articles (title, content)
     VALUES (:title, :content)"
);

$stmt->execute([
    ':title'   => $title,
    ':content' => $content
]);

echo "Article saved successfully.";

Prepared statements primarily protect the database query from SQL injection.

However:

Prepared statements do NOT sanitize HTML against XSS.

SQL injection prevention and HTML/XSS protection are different security requirements.

14. Editing an Existing Article

Suppose previously stored content is:

$content = $article['content'];

Load it back into TinyMCE's textarea:

<textarea name="content" id="editor"><?php
echo htmlspecialchars($content, ENT_QUOTES, 'UTF-8');
?></textarea>

Why use htmlspecialchars() here?

Because the stored HTML is being inserted into the HTML source of a <textarea> and must be safely encoded for that context.

TinyMCE will then load the textarea content into the editing interface.

15. Displaying the Published Article

When displaying trusted/sanitized rich-text content, your application needs the HTML to render.

For example:

<div class="article-content">
    <?= $sanitized_content ?>
</div>

The important word here is:

sanitized

Do not assume arbitrary database content is automatically safe merely because it came from your own database.

16. Add Trumbowyg to a PHP Page

Trumbowyg is another useful WYSIWYG editor.

It is particularly attractive when you want something relatively lightweight.

Trumbowyg requires jQuery.

Include its stylesheet and scripts according to the current Trumbowyg distribution/documentation.

A typical structure is:

<link rel="stylesheet"
href="path/to/trumbowyg.min.css">

<script src="path/to/jquery.min.js"></script>

<script src="path/to/trumbowyg.min.js"></script>

Then create:

<textarea
id="trumbowyg_editor"
name="content">
</textarea>

Initialize it:

<script>
$('#trumbowyg_editor').trumbowyg();
</script>

The ordinary textarea is now converted into a WYSIWYG editor.

17. Trumbowyg Form Example

<form method="post" action="save.php">

    <input
        type="text"
        name="title"
        placeholder="Article title"
        required
    >

    <textarea
        id="trumbowyg_editor"
        name="content">
    </textarea>

    <button type="submit">
        Save
    </button>

</form>

<script>
$('#trumbowyg_editor').trumbowyg();
</script>

PHP receives the content exactly like a normal textarea:

$content = $_POST['content'] ?? '';

The same server-side security requirements discussed for TinyMCE also apply to Trumbowyg.

18. WYSIWYG Editors Do Not Upload Images Automatically in Every Configuration

This is another common misunderstanding.

Adding:

image

to an editor toolbar does not necessarily mean that your PHP application has a complete secure image-upload system.

Image uploads may require additional configuration including:

Browser
   ↓
Select Image
   ↓
Editor
   ↓
Upload Request
   ↓
PHP Upload Handler
   ↓
Validate File
   ↓
Rename File
   ↓
Store File
   ↓
Return Image URL
   ↓
Editor Inserts Image

The server-side upload handler should validate things such as:

• Allowed file types
• Actual MIME/type characteristics
• File size
• Image dimensions where appropriate
• Filename
• Storage location
• Authentication
• Authorization
• Upload rate/abuse controls

Never rely only on a filename extension such as .jpg.

19. Never Allow PHP Files Through an Image Upload Feature

A dangerous upload system might allow files such as:

shell.php
malware.php
upload.php
image.php.jpg

An image uploader should never become a route for uploading executable PHP files.

Use strict allowlisting and a secure upload architecture.

Where practical, uploaded content should be stored in a location/configuration where server-side scripts cannot execute.

20. Protect the Editor Page with Authentication

If the WYSIWYG editor is part of an admin panel, the page should normally require authentication.

Example:

session_start();

if (empty($_SESSION['admin_logged_in'])) {
    header('Location: login.php');
    exit;
}

Otherwise, unauthorized visitors may be able to access your content-management interface.

21. Add Authorization, Not Just Authentication

Authentication asks:

Who is this user?

Authorization asks:

Is this user allowed to perform this action?

For example:

if ($_SESSION['role'] !== 'admin') {
    http_response_code(403);
    exit('Access denied');
}

A knowledgebase might have roles such as:

Administrator
Editor
Author
Reviewer
Viewer

Each role can have different permissions.

22. Protect Save Forms Against CSRF

Administrative forms should also be protected against Cross-Site Request Forgery.

A simplified approach is to create a random CSRF token in the session:

if (empty($_SESSION['csrf_token'])) {
    $_SESSION['csrf_token'] =
        bin2hex(random_bytes(32));
}

Add it to the form:

<input
type="hidden"
name="csrf_token"
value="<?= htmlspecialchars($_SESSION['csrf_token']) ?>">

When processing the request, compare the submitted token with the session token using a safe comparison such as hash_equals().

23. Recommended PHP Content Workflow

A more secure publishing workflow looks like:

User Login
     ↓
Authorization Check
     ↓
Open Editor
     ↓
Enter Article
     ↓
Submit Form
     ↓
CSRF Validation
     ↓
Validate Title/Metadata
     ↓
Sanitize Allowed HTML
     ↓
PDO Prepared Statement
     ↓
Store in MySQL
     ↓
Retrieve Article
     ↓
Render Sanitized HTML

This is much safer than:

$_POST
  ↓
Database
  ↓
echo

24. Content Security Policy

A Content Security Policy (CSP) can provide an additional browser-side security layer.

For example, CSP can restrict where scripts, styles, images, frames, and other resources may be loaded from.

However:

CSP should be treated as defense in depth, not as a substitute for proper validation, sanitization, output handling, authentication, and authorization.

When using editors loaded from a CDN, ensure your CSP configuration permits only the specific resources genuinely required.

25. CDN vs Self-Hosted Editor

There are two common deployment models.

CDN / Cloud Hosted

Advantages:

• Quick installation
• Less local file management
• Easy initial deployment

Potential considerations:

• Internet connectivity dependency
• External resource dependency
• CSP configuration
• Privacy/compliance requirements
• API/account requirements
• Version changes

Self-Hosted

Advantages:

• Greater control
• Local asset availability
• Can reduce external runtime dependencies
• Easier to pin a specific tested release

Considerations:

• You must maintain updates
• Security patches become your responsibility
• Licensing terms must still be reviewed
• Plugin compatibility must be maintained

26. Do Not Use Outdated Editor Versions Indefinitely

A WYSIWYG editor processes complicated HTML and browser interactions.

Old versions may eventually contain:

• Security vulnerabilities
• Browser compatibility problems
• Plugin incompatibilities
• Deprecated APIs
• Bugs

Periodically review the editor version and upgrade after testing.

27. Test Before Updating Production

For an important knowledgebase or CMS:

Production Website
       ↓
Create Backup
       ↓
Clone/Staging Environment
       ↓
Update Editor
       ↓
Test
       ↓
Deploy to Production

Test:

• Creating articles
• Editing articles
• Saving
• Links
• Images
• Tables
• Lists
• HTML/source mode
• Mobile view
• Existing articles
• Copy/paste
• Browser compatibility

28. TinyMCE Is Especially Useful for Knowledgebase Systems

A knowledgebase article may contain:

Title
Summary
Headings
Paragraphs
Commands
Code
Screenshots
Tables
Warnings
Notes
Hyperlinks
Numbered procedures
Bullet lists
FAQ
Keywords
Tags

A rich-text editor makes managing this content significantly easier than manually writing HTML.

29. Recommended Knowledgebase Editor Features

For a technical knowledgebase, consider providing:

Essential

• Headings
• Bold
• Italic
• Underline
• Lists
• Links
• Images
• Tables
• Undo/redo
• Source code view
• Full screen

Very useful

• Search/replace
• Word count
• Preview
• Code samples
• Blockquotes
• Special characters

Optional

• Media
• Templates
• Advanced image handling
• Custom toolbar buttons
• Custom plugins

Avoid enabling features merely because they exist. A smaller controlled feature set is easier to maintain and secure.

30. Common Problem: TinyMCE Does Not Appear

Check the browser developer console.

Possible causes include:

• TinyMCE script failed to load
• Incorrect API configuration
• JavaScript error
• Wrong selector
• Incorrect textarea ID
• Content Security Policy blocking scripts
• Network/CDN problem
• Conflicting JavaScript

If your HTML contains:

<textarea id="editor"></textarea>

your selector must match:

selector: '#editor'

31. Common Problem: Editor Appears but Content Is Not Saved

Verify that the textarea has a name.

Correct:

<textarea
id="editor"
name="content">
</textarea>

PHP then receives:

$_POST['content']

Without the name attribute, normal form submission will not provide the expected field.

32. Common Problem: HTML Tags Appear on the Published Page

If users see:

<p>Hello <strong>World</strong></p>

instead of formatted text, the content is probably being escaped at the point where you intended to render sanitized rich HTML.

Remember:

Plain text output → encode/escape appropriately

Intentional rich HTML output → sanitize according to a strict policy, then render

Do not simply stop escaping arbitrary untrusted input without adding appropriate sanitization.

33. Common Problem: Formatting Disappears After Saving

Possible causes include:

• Sanitizer configuration is too restrictive
• Database column is too small
• Application removes HTML tags
• Content is escaped incorrectly
• Editor configuration removes unsupported markup
• Another processing function modifies the HTML

Use TEXT, MEDIUMTEXT, or LONGTEXT depending on expected content size.

For substantial knowledgebase articles, LONGTEXT provides plenty of capacity.

34. Common Problem: Images Work in Editor but Not Published Article

Check:

• Image URL
• Upload directory
• File permissions
• HTTPS
• Domain/path
• CSP
• Hotlink restrictions
• Deleted/moved files

Use browser Developer Tools → Network to inspect failed requests.

Common status codes include:

403 Forbidden
404 Not Found
500 Internal Server Error

35. Common Problem: TinyMCE API-Key Warning

When using Tiny Cloud, configure a valid Tiny Cloud API key.

Do not rely on an old tutorial that permanently uses:

no-api-key

For production deployment, review the current TinyMCE documentation and choose either an appropriate Tiny Cloud configuration or a suitable self-hosted deployment.

36. TinyMCE vs Plain Textarea

Plain textarea

<textarea name="content"></textarea>

Good for:

• Notes
• Plain text
• Short descriptions
• Simple comments

WYSIWYG editor

Better for:

• Articles
• Blogs
• Knowledgebases
• Documentation
• Product descriptions
• Email templates
• Support responses
• CMS content

37. TinyMCE vs Trumbowyg: Which Should You Choose?

Choose TinyMCE if:

You need a feature-rich content-management editor with extensive configuration and plugin support.

It is especially suitable for:

Knowledgebase
CMS
Documentation system
Blog platform
Customer portal
Enterprise admin system

Choose Trumbowyg if:

You prefer a smaller, simpler editor and already use jQuery.

It is suitable for:

Simple CMS
Support forms
Admin notes
Basic article editing
Product descriptions
Internal applications

38. Recommended Security Checklist

Before deploying a WYSIWYG editor in production, verify:

• Admin/editor authentication is enabled

• User authorization is implemented

• HTTPS is enabled

• CSRF protection is implemented

• SQL queries use prepared statements

• Rich HTML is sanitized

• Allowed HTML is restricted to what is necessary

• Image uploads are validated

• PHP/script uploads are blocked

• Upload size limits are configured

• Database uses UTF-8/utf8mb4

• Editor version is maintained

• Plugins are kept updated

• Backups are available

• Production updates are tested first

• CSP is considered as defense in depth

• Admin sessions are securely configured

• Error messages do not reveal database credentials

• Database credentials are not exposed publicly

• File permissions are reviewed

• Logs are monitored for suspicious activity

39. Suggested Production Architecture

For a professional PHP knowledgebase:

                 ADMIN USER
                     │
                     ▼

              HTML Sanitization
                     │
                     ▼
              PDO Prepared SQL
                     │
                     ▼
                MySQL DB
                     │
                     ▼
             Public Article Page
                     │
                     ▼
             Sanitized HTML Output

This architecture separates editing convenience from server-side security.

40. Final Recommendation

For a serious PHP knowledgebase or CMS, TinyMCE is generally the stronger choice when extensive rich-text functionality and customization are required.

Trumbowyg remains a useful option when a lightweight editor is preferred.

Whichever editor you choose, remember this fundamental rule:

A WYSIWYG editor improves content creation; it does not replace server-side application security.

The complete implementation should combine:

WYSIWYG Editor + PHP Validation + HTML Sanitization + PDO Prepared Statements + Authentication + Authorization + CSRF Protection + Secure Upload Handling + HTTPS + Regular Updates

That combination provides a much better foundation for a secure production content-management system.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

1. What does WYSIWYG mean?

WYSIWYG means What You See Is What You Get. Users visually format content while the editor creates the underlying HTML.

2. Is TinyMCE a PHP editor?

TinyMCE is primarily a JavaScript-based browser editor. PHP receives and processes the HTML generated by TinyMCE.

3. Does TinyMCE require PHP?

No. TinyMCE can be used with many server-side technologies. PHP is simply one possible backend.

4. Can TinyMCE save directly to MySQL?

Normally your application submits TinyMCE's content to PHP, and PHP stores it in MySQL.

5. Is TinyMCE free?

TinyMCE has different deployment and licensing options. Always check the current licensing and cloud/self-hosting terms before deployment.

6. Does Tiny Cloud require an API key?

For normal cloud-hosted TinyMCE deployment, use a valid Tiny Cloud API key according to the current TinyMCE documentation.

7. Can TinyMCE be self-hosted?

Yes, TinyMCE provides self-hosting options subject to the applicable licensing terms.

8. Is Trumbowyg free?

Trumbowyg is an open-source lightweight WYSIWYG editor. Review its current project license before commercial deployment.

9. Does Trumbowyg require jQuery?

Yes. Trumbowyg's documentation specifies jQuery as a dependency.

10. Which editor is better for a PHP knowledgebase?

TinyMCE is usually a strong choice where extensive content editing, plugins, tables, code, images, and customization are important.

11. Can WYSIWYG HTML create an XSS vulnerability?

Yes. If untrusted HTML is stored and rendered without appropriate sanitization, it can potentially lead to stored XSS.

12. Should I use htmlspecialchars() on editor content?

Use context-appropriate escaping when displaying HTML as text or embedding data into HTML structures such as a textarea. When intentionally rendering rich HTML, use a proper HTML sanitization strategy instead of blindly rendering untrusted content.

13. Are PDO prepared statements enough for security?

No. Prepared statements help protect SQL queries against SQL injection. They do not automatically protect rendered HTML from XSS.

14. Can users upload images through TinyMCE?

Yes, but image uploading requires appropriate editor and server-side configuration. Your PHP upload handler must securely validate uploaded files.

15. Can I allow PDF uploads?

Yes, if your application requires them, but implement a dedicated secure upload policy with appropriate validation and storage controls.

16. Should PHP files ever be allowed through an article upload feature?

Normally no. Allowing executable server-side scripts through content-upload functionality can create a serious security vulnerability.

17. Can I use TinyMCE inside Bootstrap?

Yes. TinyMCE can be integrated into Bootstrap-based PHP applications.

18. Can TinyMCE edit existing database content?

Yes. Retrieve the existing content from the database, safely place it into the textarea, and initialize TinyMCE on that textarea.

19. Why is TinyMCE not appearing?

Common causes include JavaScript loading failures, incorrect selectors, API configuration problems, CSP restrictions, or JavaScript conflicts.

20. Why does formatting disappear after saving?

Check HTML sanitization rules, database column size, PHP processing functions, editor configuration, and output handling.

21. Should I store HTML or plain text in MySQL?

If your application needs rich formatting, storing sanitized/controlled HTML is a common approach.

22. Which MySQL field should be used?

TEXT, MEDIUMTEXT, or LONGTEXT can be used depending on article size. LONGTEXT is convenient for large knowledgebase content.

23. Can I create my own TinyMCE toolbar?

Yes. TinyMCE allows extensive toolbar customization.

24. Can TinyMCE edit HTML source?

Yes. The appropriate code/source functionality can be enabled through editor configuration.

25. Should I use a CDN or self-host the editor?

Both approaches are possible. CDN/cloud hosting is convenient, while self-hosting provides greater control. Consider maintenance, licensing, security, availability, and compliance requirements.

26. Does HTTPS matter for an admin editor?

Yes. HTTPS protects credentials, sessions, and content while data travels between the browser and server.

27. Do I need CSRF protection?

Yes, particularly for authenticated administrative actions such as creating, updating, publishing, and deleting content.

28. Should only administrators use the editor?

Not necessarily. You can create roles such as Author and Editor, but each user should receive only the permissions required for their work.

29. Can TinyMCE be used for email templates?

Yes, but email HTML has additional compatibility and security considerations because email clients support HTML/CSS differently.

30. Can TinyMCE be used in a custom PHP knowledgebase?

Yes. This is one of the most practical uses of a rich-text editor.
