Currently, I got this:
$oFCKeditor = new FCKeditor('sbtext');

When I now want to initiate a new editor, do I change it like this:
$oFCKeditor = new FCKeditor('sbnotes') ;
or like this
$oFCKeditorNotes = new FCKeditor('sbnotes');
So, unrelated to the editor, how do I instantiate a second instance of
an object?
Your second choice is the one you want. The code "new
FCKeditor('whatever')" returns a distinct FCKeditor object, which you
should store in a distinct variable. If you just use the same variable
as for the first object, $oFCKeditor, you'll overwrite the value of that
variable and lose the object.
OO concepts can be daunting at times, but in this case it's a simple
matter of storing someting in a variable. If you wrote:
$fruit = 'apple'; // I need some fruit
$fruit = 'pear'; // I need another kind of fruit
then you'd expect the 'apple' value to be overwritten and gone. Same
with the objects.
Hope this helps.

It definitely does! Thank you very much! :)
