[SOLVED] Passing links through php table

[twittoris]

I have a script which reads a .txt file formatted URL|Description

it then loops the entries into a table.

However, the URL is not a clickable link.

How do I include an ahref in the loop?

 

while (!feof($fp)) {

$line = fgets($fp,1024); //use 2048 if very long lines

$row++;

list ($website, $description)= split ("\|", $line);

 

$col[$row] = array($row, $website, $description, $adsense);

 

Help??

while (!feof($fp)) {

  $line = fgets($fp,1024); //use 2048 if very long lines

  $row++;

  list ($website, $description)= split ("\|", $line);

  echo "<a href=\"" . $website . "\">" . $website . "</a><br/>";

  echo $description;

}

close....

while (!feof($fp)) {

$line = fgets($fp,1024); //use 2048 if very long lines

$row++;

list ($website, $description)= split ("\|", $line);

$website= "<a href=\"" . $website . "\">" . $website . "</a><br/>";

  $col[$row] = array($row, $website, $description, $adsense);

 

the webpage column is now a clickable hyperlink. However, the url is http://mysite.com/www.$website.com

i.e. www.mysite.com/www.yahoo.com which does not go to the right webpage

my last post wasnt entirely accurate, it works if http:// was entered in the text file. is there a check we could apply that would add an http or take an extra http away?

We could use the Substring function

 

$String = "http://.....";
$Http = substr($String, 0,7);
if ($Http=="http://") {
//code to be executed if the website starts with http://
} else {
       //code to be executed if it doesn't
}

 

Hope this helps

yeah i see where you are going. I am new to php and am not sure how to apply it to my code above...

[Glenugie]

while (!feof($fp)) {
   $line = fgets($fp,1024); //use 2048 if very long lines
   $row++;
   list ($website, $description)= split ("\|", $line);
$Http = substr($website, 0,7);
if ($Http=="http://") {
   echo <a href=\"".$website. "\">" . $website . "</a><br/>";
} else {
   echo <a href=\"http://".$website. "\">" . $website . "</a><br/>";
}
$col[$row] = array($row, $website, $description, $adsense);

Might do the trick, I think

had to change it to the variable instead of echo but now it works perfectly.
