unklematt Posted March 5, 2006 Share Posted March 5, 2006 I have a question to ask -- as normal...I have a row of pages in a list ie:[code]link1,link2,link3,link4[/code]which are written to my database just using a $link variableHow do I get them to be like[code]<a href='http://link1'>link1</a>'<a href='http://link2'>link2</a>'<a href='http://link3'>link3</a>'<a href='http://link4'>link4</a>'[/code]I know how to do the str_replace etc but the getting them link is doing my head in LOL[quote] Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/4174-creating-links-from-a-list/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
zq29 Posted March 5, 2006 Share Posted March 5, 2006 If you are storing them in a database, like you say, this should work fine...[code]<?php$result = mysql_query("SELECT `link` FROM `table`") or die(mysql_error());while($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($result)) { echo "<a href='http://$row[link]'>$row[link]</a><br/>";}?>[/code] Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/4174-creating-links-from-a-list/#findComment-14485 Share on other sites More sharing options...

AndyB Posted March 6, 2006 Share Posted March 6, 2006 Do you mean that you have [b]one field[/b] in each [b]row[/b] of your database that looks like url1,url2,url3 (all joined up but separated with commas)? If that's so you you need to retrieve the field and then use the explode() function on the comma separator to generate an array of links ...

wickning1 Posted March 6, 2006 Share Posted March 6, 2006 Comma separated data is bad database design. Just so you know. :) Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/4174-creating-links-from-a-list/#findComment-14575 Share on other sites More sharing options...
