[RESOLVED] making data linkable

[webweever]

I'm trying to make this code output linkable in a new window

<td bgcolor="#FFFFFF"><font face='verdana'><font size='1'><? echo $rows['url']; ?></td>

I've tried every possibe a href statement and can't get it to work.

Help please.

Did you forget the basic <a> tag?

<td style="background-color:#fff;">
    <span style="font-face:verdana;font-size:xx-small;">
        <a href="<?php echo $rows['url']; ?>"><?php echo $rows['url']; ?></a>
    </span>
</td>

That's of course to not mention you forgot to close 2 <font> tags which I merged into 1 <span> tag.

Thanks... That worked for making them linkable, how about making the links open in a new window?

I was trying to put the whole thing in one php statement, guess that's where I screwed up.

To make the link open in a new window you would change this line

<a href="<?php echo $rows['url']; ?>"><?php echo $rows['url']; ?></a>

to this

<a target="_blank" href="<?php echo $rows['url']; ?>"><?php echo $rows['url']; ?></a>

I added "target="_blank"
Also don't forget to mark the thread resolved!

<a href="<?php echo $rows['url']; ?>" target="new"><?php echo $rows['url']; ?></a>
