link from MYSQL field to internal docs

[fagan]

In my Intranet, I have a field in a MYSQL database that I need to link to internal documents on our servers from a php page. I know the php code, but I cannot remember the format of that link within the dB field. Help!

Thanks.

I'm not sure I understand the problem... can you do this:

USE myDatabase;
DESCRIBE myTable;

That should show you the column data types for which ever table you are working with.

I know I must not be describing it correctly. Let me try again:

I have a dB with 5 fields. One of the fields is the description, & the other is the actual link to a file on a local server, not on the internet. For an Internet dB, the link would be: http://www.blahblahblah.com. I cannot remember the format for the Intranet link.

Thanks.
