sandbudd Posted March 31, 2009 Share Posted March 31, 2009 Guys I have tried several combos trying to make a sql query clickable and cant make it work. What I have is a table that is calling a website url put in but can not figure out to make the link clickable? I know that this is a basic question but I cant seem to figure it out. here is the complete code. on line 78 <span class="style3"><?php echo $row_Recordset1['website']; ?></span><br /></span><br /><br /> this is what I need clickable. This is done in Dreamweaver which I know you guys probably hate. <?php require_once('../Connections/fwragain.php'); ?> <?php if (!function_exists("GetSQLValueString")) { function GetSQLValueString($theValue, $theType, $theDefinedValue = "", $theNotDefinedValue = "") { $theValue = get_magic_quotes_gpc() ? stripslashes($theValue) : $theValue; $theValue = function_exists("mysql_real_escape_string") ? mysql_real_escape_string($theValue) : mysql_escape_string($theValue); switch ($theType) { case "text": $theValue = ($theValue != "") ? "'" . $theValue . "'" : "NULL"; break; case "long": case "int": $theValue = ($theValue != "") ? intval($theValue) : "NULL"; break; case "double": $theValue = ($theValue != "") ? "'" . doubleval($theValue) . "'" : "NULL"; break; case "date": $theValue = ($theValue != "") ? "'" . $theValue . "'" : "NULL"; break; case "defined": $theValue = ($theValue != "") ? $theDefinedValue : $theNotDefinedValue; break; } return $theValue; } } $maxRows_Recordset1 = 10; $pageNum_Recordset1 = 0; if (isset($_GET['pageNum_Recordset1'])) { $pageNum_Recordset1 = $_GET['pageNum_Recordset1']; } $startRow_Recordset1 = $pageNum_Recordset1 * $maxRows_Recordset1; mysql_select_db($database_fwragain, $fwragain); $query_Recordset1 = "SELECT * FROM employees"; $query_limit_Recordset1 = sprintf("%s LIMIT %d, %d", $query_Recordset1, $startRow_Recordset1, $maxRows_Recordset1); $Recordset1 = mysql_query($query_limit_Recordset1, $fwragain) or die(mysql_error()); $row_Recordset1 = mysql_fetch_assoc($Recordset1); if (isset($_GET['totalRows_Recordset1'])) { $totalRows_Recordset1 = $_GET['totalRows_Recordset1']; } else { $all_Recordset1 = mysql_query($query_Recordset1); $totalRows_Recordset1 = mysql_num_rows($all_Recordset1); } $totalPages_Recordset1 = ceil($totalRows_Recordset1/$maxRows_Recordset1)-1; ?><!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd"> <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"> <head> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" /> <title>Untitled Document</title> <style type="text/css"> <!-- .style3 {font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 11px; } .style4 { font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-weight: bold; } --> </style> </head> <body> <table width="299" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"> <?php do { ?> <tr> <td width="244"><span class="style4"><?php echo $row_Recordset1['company']; ?></span><br /> <span class="style3"><?php echo $row_Recordset1['address']; ?></span><br /> <span class="style3"><?php echo $row_Recordset1['city']; ?></span><span class="style3">,</span><span class="style3"><?php echo $row_Recordset1['state']; ?></span><br /> <span class="style3"><?php echo $row_Recordset1['phone']; ?></span><br /> <span class="style3"><?php echo $row_Recordset1['website']; ?></span><br /></span><br /><br /> <td width="55" colspan="4" align="center" valign="middle"><?php echo "<img src=http://www.fortwaynerestaurant.net/images/".$row_Recordset1['photo'] ."> "; ?><br/></td> </tr> <?php } while ($row_Recordset1 = mysql_fetch_assoc($Recordset1)); ?> </table> </body> </html> <?php mysql_free_result($Recordset1); ?> Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/151982-solved-sql-clickable-link-troubles/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

premiso Posted March 31, 2009 Share Posted March 31, 2009 The issue you are having is websites with just www that are hyperlinked will have the current site's address auto added. To prevent this, add http:// and it will be fine. But make sure your links in the DB do not have the http:// if they do this will cause an issue. <span class="style3"><a href="http://<?php echo $row_Recordset1['website']; ?>"><?php echo $row_Recordset1['website']; ?></a></span><br /></span><br /><br /> Alternatively, if you have mixed in the DB, this will solve that issue. <?php do { $website = (stristr($row_Recordset1['website'], "http://") !== false)?$row_Recordset1['website']:"http://" . $row_Recordset1['website']; ?> <tr> <td width="244"><span class="style4"><?php echo $row_Recordset1['company']; ?></span><br /> <span class="style3"><?php echo $row_Recordset1['address']; ?></span><br /> <span class="style3"><?php echo $row_Recordset1['city']; ?></span><span class="style3">,</span><span class="style3"><?php echo $row_Recordset1['state']; ?></span><br /> <span class="style3"><?php echo $row_Recordset1['phone']; ?></span><br /> <span class="style3"><a href="<?php echo $website; ?>"><?php echo $website; ?></a></span><br /></span><br /><br /> <td width="55" colspan="4" align="center" valign="middle"><?php echo "<img src=http://www.fortwaynerestaurant.net/images/".$row_Recordset1['photo'] ."> "; ?><br/></td> </tr> <?php } while ($row_Recordset1 = mysql_fetch_assoc($Recordset1)); ?> The ? and : in the $website statement is called the ternary operator and is basically a shortened If/Else statement.
