[StainOnRug]

Hello.. I searched for an answer on the simple quesiton but I am only finding complex answers... I simply just want to add a link in my database so when my results display you can see the information.. and when they click the link it takes them to the webpage of the article. I tried inserting User sees this text  but when the results page shows.. it doesnt show the hyperlink.. Thank you all very much!

$result = mysql_query("SELECT address FROM db.links WHERE link_id=3");
$foo = mysql_fetch_assoc($result);
echo '<a href="'.$foo['address'].'">this is link 3</a>';

You have to add the href tags in the html output for the text to be a
link........

in your while statement or whatever your using to obtains the links from the
database already,

instead of just displaying $link_value, change it to

<a href="$link_value">$link_value</a>
