    Hi all,

    I am using dreamweaver and deploying urls from database, however I want they to be <a href=" dyanamic url"> dynamic url</a>

    with dreamweaver the code appears like this:

    <p><?php echo $row_Recordset1['url']; ?></p>

    the $row_Recordset1['url']; is the dynamic url from databse, how do I make them as href???

    for example

    <a href=" url1"> url1</a>

    You can use exactly what you have above.

    <p><a href="<?php echo $row_Recordset1['url']; ?>"><?php echo $row_Recordset1['url']; ?></a></p>
    PHP:
    If you are doing this from a database result set (i.,e more than one row) you just need to loop over the results using the same syntax.

    You might want to actually look into giving it a title="" tag and proper anchor text however.
