hyperlinking a stored url on output

[normsky]

Hi,
I'm new at this i would like to put text into my database which is hyperlinked.

for example i would like to put the text MYSITE and the url of mysite http:://www.mysite.com into my database.
Then i want to display the text MYSITE and when i click on it it will take me to [mysite.com...]

Could anyone tell me how to do this or where i can find some info how to do this.

Thanks,
Norm

Welcome to WebmasterWorld normsky,

maybe after your select you check to see if the value was entered in the db

if (isset($url)) { //$url selected from db
echo "<a href=\"" . $url . "\">" . $url . "</a>";
}

or something like that
