I want to use a database held URL to redirect visitors to linked sites. As I am no handcoding expert I am struggling with this. I can return the value and make it a link but the system precurses the URL with the local url, hence www.mydomain.com becomes localhost/localfile/www.mydomain.com.

Any ideas? What basic trick am I missing here?

Dear Technobirman,
Given that $foo = "www.foo.com"

&lt;a href = "&lt;?echo $foo ?&gt;"&gt;&lt;? echo $foo ?&gt;&lt;/a&gt;

Regards,
Brent
