webdevdea Posted February 15, 2014 Share Posted February 15, 2014 echo '<p> <b>'.$row['topictitle'].'</b> '.$row['topicdescription'].'</p>' ; Im trying to make the 'topicdescription' a clickable link. I am trying to make my personal pdf library easier to access for my friends, so when they query the database I want it so they can just click on the link to download the material. Please and thank you . I have tried a few different things but nothing works so far. I thought I would just bring it to the experts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ch0cu3r Posted February 15, 2014 Share Posted February 15, 2014 (edited) Where should the link go to? The correct syntax would be to wrap an achor tag around $row['topicdescription] echo '<p> <b>'.$row['topictitle'].'</b> <a href="link/location.php">'.$row['topicdescription']}.'</a></p>'; Change link/location.php to what you are linking to.
