[SOLVED] show the direct link into href

[deepson2]

Hello,

 

I want to display link on the page. i am fetching the data(URL) from database,actually before that i am checking if it is URL or not. if it is URL, let take an example google.com so it should take me directly on the Google's page after clicking on that link .

 

but now the problem is the path is something like this.

 

  mydomain/myfolder/mysubfolder/google.com

 

i want directly

 

google.com

 

Here is my code

 

if($row['which_mail'] == "decline")
{

if(!preg_match("/^[a-zA-Z]+[:\/\/]+[A-Za-z0-9\-_]+\\.+[A-Za-z0-9\.\/%&=\?\-_]+$/i",$row['content']))
{

   $ab = $row['content'];
  echo $ab ;
// echo "<b>Last message for decline mail is</b>-".<a href='$ab'>".$row['content']."</a>.";

echo "<a href='$ab'>".$row['content']."</a>";

}else{
$decline  =$row['content'];

echo "<b>Last message for decline mail is</b>- $decline";
}}

 

Can anyone look into my code and tell me how can i achieve that?

 

Thanks in advance.

I have added "http" into it and now i am able to go the that particular link(google.com)

 

echo "<b>Last message for decline mail is</b>-<a href='http://$ab'>".$row['content']."</a>";

 

but i want it show come like this www.google.com

 

How can i get/add "www" into my url?
