[elentz]

I am in need of a way to make a field in a table show the table a clickable url.

I've re-read that several times and it still makes no sense.

Sorry.  Was multitasking badly as I posted the original message

 

I have a CRUD application where we will be entering information into a DB for our customers.  We need a system where we can keep track of links for programming their phone systems.  All are online and programmed using a browser.  We are entering the url into a field in the form and later the url is brought out in a table showing all the different records for all the customers.  I am looking for a way to make the url clickable?  We have multiple people accessing this report.

You are looking for a way to make URL clickable? Simply use the <a tag.

Even your attempt at re-posting doesn't make a lot of sense. For ex., what does "programmed using a browser" mean?

 

Anyway - you have a url and want to make it clickable so as to "jump" to that site? phpmillion has told you how.

Yes that is the goal.

 

I did figure it out

 

This does the trick for me:

<td><a href="http://<?php echo $row[2];?>">Click Here</a></td>

Not pretty but works.  Thanks for the nudge to figure it out.

• I have a CRUD application where we will be entering information into a DB for our customers.  Okay.

We need a system where we can keep track of links for programming their phone systems. A link programs a phone system?  You mean, you want to keep track of all the links they followed?  If so, include a session or cookie in the request or some data in the URL, and store that in the DB.

All are online and programmed using a browser.  All who?

We are entering the url into a field in the form and later the url is brought out in a table showing all the different records for all the customers.  Not sure on this one.  Are you looking to save the urls that were placed in the form in a DB?  Shouldn't be too difficult.

I am looking for a way to make the url clickable? As stated, use an anchor tag.

We have multiple people accessing this report.  And your point is?

[ginerjm]

And what is "not pretty" about it? The fact that the link simply shows as "click here"? I can see that. But - when you retrieve the url that is being ref'ed, can you not also retrieve something more descriptive from that same source and use that as the display value of the anchor?

What's wrong about that? It's a normal code to display links. Sure thing, you can always use templating system, so your code will look like:

<td><a href="http://{{ some_link }}">Click Here</a></td>

but if you are unfamiliar with PHP/HTML, you may find it very difficult to add templating engine to your script.
