    Hi all, I need a bit of help since I'm not a programmer. I inserted some links <a HREF="mylink.html">My Link</a> manually into a mysql database. However when the php script displays it the link is not clickable - just plain text. What is the right way to do this? Thank you.

    You've inserted <a href="something.html>Link</a>, but - how it's represented in your database ?

    Hi, I don't know how it's represented but the problem is that the pages are generated from the database (except header and footer) and I need to put the link only on one particular page.
