URL's and text type columns

[ratpH1nk]

Hello all,

I have several columns in several tables in a mySQL database that users enter information into. Some of the information contains urls that I would like to be clickable to the user. So this:

Hi, I found this great site check out www.phpbuilder.com

I would like to show up as

Hi, I found this great site check out www.phpbuilder.com

Any suggestions you may have on how to do this? And if so, would it cause any problems with the current <pre></pre> tags I am using now?

Thanks,

OK. So, partially solved. I created a very simple database and an array to put the output in a table and found out that simply by doing <a href="http://www.phpbuilder.com>PHPBuilder</a>

The link is accurately displayed in the output of the page when I view the results in the web-browser. I am not quite sure how I did it differently at work, but for now I would have to say that Dreamweaver must be doing thngs differently then I am doing them by hand.

Thanks,
