scmeeker Posted September 7, 2010 Share Posted September 7, 2010 I'm having a problem with including a list of clickable links. They keep including my website address before the web address instead of the the web address alone. Here is the code I'm using for it. The $item_url is the web address from the database. $content .="<table width=\"700\" height=\"50\" border=\"0\"><tr><td width=\"500\" class=\"titles\"><a href=$item_url target=\"_blank\">$item_title</a></td></tr><tr> <td width=\"400\" class=blackfont>Location: {$item_city}, {$item_state}</td></tr><tr><td class=blackfont>Country: {$item_country}</td></tr><br /> </table>"; Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/212802-problem-with-url-link/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
objnoob Posted September 7, 2010 Share Posted September 7, 2010 Where is the code that sets $item_url. This may or may not be the cause of your error depending on whether or not $item_url contains any spaces, however, if you use double quotes to enclose your HTML tag attribute values, is a good practice to follow suite. $content .="<table width=\"700\" height=\"50\" border=\"0\"><tr><td width=\"500\" class=\"titles\"><a href=\"$item_url\" target=\"_blank\">$item_title</a></td></tr><tr> <td width=\"400\" class=blackfont>Location: {$item_city}, {$item_state}</td></tr><tr><td class=blackfont>Country: {$item_country}</td></tr><br /></table>"; Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/212802-problem-with-url-link/#findComment-1108448 Share on other sites More sharing options...
scmeeker Posted September 7, 2010 Author Share Posted September 7, 2010 I found the problem. I needed to include http:// before the $item_url and now its working perfect. Thanks!
