phpgeek17 Posted February 19, 2009 Share Posted February 19, 2009 Hi all, I have a databse set up and in the table I have a set of values being id, title, tagline, and article. This table services a latest news section. My question is basically this. In the articles section I have text relating to something and I Want to add a url into this text that would display so that the user can read the article see the url link then click on it to be redirected to another page. eg. This article is about blah bl;ah blah........ to view a site related to this click the following link http://www.mysoterelated.com It is only coming out as text. I am wondering what syntax i have to use to make this link clickable in the page once it is displayed fromthe mysql database. If anyone could help I would be very grateful Regards phpgeek17 Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/145898-my-url-wont-display-in-php/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
jennatar77 Posted February 19, 2009 Share Posted February 19, 2009 I'm no expert, but... if $article is the URL that's being displayed, just do something like this... echo "<a href=\"".$article."\">".$article."</a>"; That should print your URL as an identical link... if that's what you wanted.

Alith7 Posted February 19, 2009 Share Posted February 19, 2009 Is the URL already in the article text? or is it an additional value? Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/145898-my-url-wont-display-in-php/#findComment-766622 Share on other sites More sharing options...
