[Resolved] link to www from a database field

[vegasmen]

On a database field I made a link to an other website. But the link looks like this: www.actualwebsite.com/www.newwebsite.com. How can I eliminate the www.actualwebsite.com? Here the code:

<td colspan="3" class="red"><a href="<?php echo $row_rs_members['web']; ?>" target="_blank"><?php echo $row_rs_members['web']; ?></a></td>

Thanks for help

try
<a href="http://<?php echo $row_rs_members['web']; ?>

Thanks for help, it doesn't work, it removes the record of this field.

intersting. i would have to see more code to take another guess. my first thought was that the url wasnt valid format for making a hyperlink. also what format are the urls when stored in the db?
