Links....

[Anon]

I have agreed with a webmaster to exchange news headlines. I have the
script sorted using line reading in PHP. However, the links are
constructed <a href=linkgoeshere/database/whatsnew/news.php> (or
whatever). When these lines are then read onto my page obviously the
browser tries to read myserver/linkgoeshere/da.... etc. Is there anyway I
can correct this? Can I place a file in a folder /database/ on my server
which automatically tells all the browsers to visit the actual site,
instead of a 404 on my server?

Hope this is understandable,

Cheers.

The right way to do this would be for each of you to provide your headlines in Netscape RSS format, which is the leading standard for headline syndication. It's easy to find (or write) routines to convert RSS into your favorite style of presentation.

Failing that, write a regular expression to fix up the URLs in the chunk you're getting from your neighbor.

Jesus.

<a href="HTTP://blablabha">
The http:// is essencial to redirect to a new webpage.
