PHP Link Problem within Storage App

I converted a PHP Email App into a saving app. And I am having a problem being able to open a link within the application.

Here is a live example of the app online - [Link][1]

The PHP code has converted the links on the page into mailto links. I cant figure out how to just get the links to be displayed normal.

Is there a way I can convert the link to be displayed normally without being opened as email links?
Any help is appreciated

Im sure its something simple, but I don't understand it.

Thank you

echo "<tr><th align='left'><a href=\"$email\">$name</a></th>
                       <th class='right'>$submitDate</th></tr>";
              echo "<tr><td colspan='2'>".nl2br(htmlspecialchars($content))."<br/></td></tr>";
          }

There are both $name and $email values in your code. Do you want the names displayed without links? Either way...

In the maxGuestbook class within the displayGuestbook() method, line 64 reads:

echo "<tr><th align='left'><a href=\"mailto:$email\">$name</a></th>

Code (markup):

If you want just the names displayed, change it to:

echo "<tr><th align='left'>$name</th>

Code (markup):

If you want just the emails displayed, change it to:

echo "<tr><th align='left'>$email</th>

Code (markup):

If you want the $email link to not have the mailto (not sure why you'd want that), change it to:

echo "<tr><th align='left'><a href=\"$email\">$name</a></th>

Code (markup):

I'm not sure if that answers your question exactly, but I hope some combination of the above will work for you!
