Newbie question...having to do with links.

[nomadofthewaves]

I'm usually good at being able to look at code and trying to figure out how to fix or change something and I usually don't ask for any help on forums, because well I hate to join a site and just try to ask for help. But i've been trying to figure this out and I can't seem to do it so here I am.

I run an image upload site, and I want to change my script so that it shows a php link to the image so that I can advertise on the image link.

Here is an example of a link from my site:

[a href=\"http://www.photoboothpics.com/uploads/3c49241de2.jpg\" target=\"_blank\"]My site..[/a]


This is an example from another site of how I want mine to look:

[a href=\"http://img111.imagevenue.com/img.php?loc=loc8&image=th_95895_pirate.JPG\" target=\"_blank\"]Example site.[/a]



I'm hoping I can just add to my script to get what I want. So if you could tell me what I even just need to read about or change that would be helpfull.

Thanks.

Here is the code from the page that shows the links to the image. Not sure if this would help.

[code]<?
    include("include/common.php");
    include("include/header.php");
    if($loggedin){
        include("include/accmenu.php");
    }
    $img = $_REQUEST['img'];
    $sql = "SELECT * FROM images WHERE id='$img'";
    $a = mysql_fetch_object( mysql_query($sql) );
    $filen = $siteurl."/".str_replace('./', '', $att_path)."/".$a->filename;
    $filen = str_replace('http://','%%',$filen);
    $filen = str_replace('//','/',$filen);
    $filen = str_replace('%%','http://',$filen);
?>
    <b>Here is your code below to display your image:</b><br>
    <table width="85%" border="0" align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0">
