Phil, I am a relative newbie, but my solution is simply to store the link as text. I generally strip off the http:// at the start if it exists and put it back when I retrieve the string so as to be sure that it in a standard format.

To display the link as an active link you need a line like:

echo "<a href='http://".$yourresult."'>Some explanatory text or repeat the link text</a>";
