Hi everyone I have built a php blog from a basic tutorial and it doesnt tell me how I can post a link with my blog entires. If I type www.phpfreaks.com it won't let the user click on the link.

 

Please can someone help me add this function to my blog form?

Below I will show you the code I have in my blog entry form and the view blog entries page.

 

This is my blog form code:

<?php
$current_month = date("F");
$current_date = date("d");
$current_year = date("Y");
$current_time = date("H:i");

if (isset($_POST['submit'])) {
    
$month = htmlspecialchars(strip_tags($_POST['month']));
    $date = htmlspecialchars(strip_tags($_POST['date']));
    $year = htmlspecialchars(strip_tags($_POST['year']));
    $time = htmlspecialchars(strip_tags($_POST['time']));
    $title = htmlspecialchars(strip_tags($_POST['title']));
    $image = htmlspecialchars(strip_tags($_POST['image']));
    $entry = $_POST['entry'];
    $password = htmlspecialchars(strip_tags($_POST['password']));
    
         $entry = nl2br($entry);
    
    //checking for emptys
    if (strlen($_POST['title'])>0 && strlen($_POST['title'])<255 && strlen($_POST['entry'])>0 && strlen($_POST['entry'])<4000000000) {
    
        $title = (!get_magic_quotes_gpc()) ? mysql_real_escape_string($_POST['title']): $_POST['title'];
        $entry = (!get_magic_quotes_gpc()) ? mysql_real_escape_string($_POST['entry']): $_POST['entry'];
      
  	$timestamp = $current_time; 		    
    
    include "connect.php";

    $password = (isset($_POST['password']))? 1:0;

    @mysql_connect($server, $connect, $pass) or die(__LINE__. mysql_error());
    @mysql_select_db($database) or die(__LINE__. mysql_error());
    
    
    //If the Submitbutton was pressed do:

    $uploaddir="./blog_images";            
    $filename = $_FILES['imagefile']['name'];
    $filename = renfilename($filename,$uploaddir);
                
    if ($filename != "") {

        chdir($uploaddir);
        
            if (preg_match('/(\.jpg)$/i', $filename)) {
            if (!file_exists($filename)) {

                if (move_uploaded_file($_FILES['imagefile']['tmp_name'], $filename)) {
                    chmod($filename, 0755);
                    $new_name = preg_replace('/_big/','_small',$filename);
                                  
                    $sql = "INSERT INTO `php_blog` (`timestamp`,`title`,`entry`,`password`,`image`) VALUES (NOW(), '$title','$entry','$password','$new_name')";

                    $result = mysql_query($sql) or print("Can't insert into table php_blog.<br />" . $sql . "<br />" . mysql_error());

}
?>

   echo str_replace($find, $replace, $content);//This always needs to be at the end of the function
