surfwtw Posted July 16, 2011 Share Posted July 16, 2011 I am trying to link to a url in my mysql database I have the code below but it is adding the link after my url as if it were a directory. I have been playing with it and searching the internet for a while. In mysql the row is called $site and it contains a url. Here is what I have <b>Link: </b> <?php Echo "<a href=$site>$site</a>" ?> </center></br> When you click on it the link takes you to www.website.com/actionpage/www.url_it_is_supposed_to_go_to.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eiolon Posted July 16, 2011 Share Posted July 16, 2011 Also, make sure that http:// is part of the URL stored in the database or at least put in front of the variable: <b>Link: </b> <?php Echo '<a href="http://$site">$site</a>' ?> </center></br> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
