simcoweb Posted September 27, 2006 Share Posted September 27, 2006 I'm extracting a field from a MySQL database to display in a page as a hyperlink. The field contains a url like www.yoursite.com and i'm using this code to display it in an 'echo' statement containing a large amount of HTML. Here's how the field is displayed:[code]<b>•</b> <a class="body" href="$url">Click Here To Visit My Site</a>[/code]The page displays it just fine as a hyperlink. But, the problem is when you mouse over it I get a duplicate URL like this:[quote]http://www.yoursite.com/www.yoursite.com[/quote]Which makes it appear as though it's treating the field data as a 'relative' link instead of just inserting it as it should. Ideas? Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/22254-displaying-url-field-from-database-causes-duplicate-link-why/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
simcoweb Posted September 27, 2006 Author Share Posted September 27, 2006 heh.. never mind :)I answered my own question. The problem was that the entries in the database didn't include http:// and were just www.yoursite.com. I updated that field to include the http:// and now they work properly.Just an FYI for any others who want to include URL's into their pages :) Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/22254-displaying-url-field-from-database-causes-duplicate-link-why/#findComment-99658 Share on other sites More sharing options...
