links in a database

[martinb7]

Is there anyway of displaying data from a database on a page that when you see it on a page it is a hyperlink??

Database column
+------+
|cheats|
+------+
Page
<a href=&quot;cheats.php&quot;>cheats</a>

Yes.

The one gotcha is that a link is composed of two parts: the URL to which the link should send the browser, and the text which the user can see. Either your database needs both parts, or your code needs to be able to deduce the other part from one. Want the best answers? Ask the best questions:
