How can the TinyMCE editor be integrated into a PHP script for user-friendly content editing while maintaining security measures?

To integrate the TinyMCE editor into a PHP script for user-friendly content editing while maintaining security measures, you can sanitize the user input to prevent any malicious code injection. This can be done by using PHP functions like htmlspecialchars() to encode special characters. Additionally, you can configure TinyMCE to only allow certain HTML tags and attributes to further enhance security. 

<?php
// Sanitize user input before saving to database
$content = htmlspecialchars($_POST['content']);

// Display TinyMCE editor with configured settings
echo '<textarea name="content" id="content">' . $content . '</textarea>';

// Initialize TinyMCE editor
echo '<script src="https://cdn.tiny.cloud/1/no-api-key/tinymce/5/tinymce.min.js"></script>';
echo '<script>
    tinymce.init({
        selector: "#content",
        height: 300,
        plugins: "advlist autolink lists link image charmap print preview anchor",
        toolbar: "undo redo | formatselect | bold italic backcolor | alignleft aligncenter alignright alignjustify | bullist numlist outdent indent | removeformat | link image",
        content_style: "body { font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; }",
        valid_elements: "*[*]"
    });
</script>';
?>
