HOW TO MANIPULATE THE URL

[johnjo]

Hi everyone,

I AM A NEWBIE AT PHP AND HAVE TAKEN ON A PROJECT FOR A CLIENT. THE PROBLEM I AM HAVING IS THAT WHEN A USER LOGS IN THEY GET THE CHANCE TO DOWNLOAD THEIR CV BY CLICKING ON A LINK. THE LINK WILL THEN LOOK INTO THE MYSQL DATABASE AND FIRES UP THE LINK IN THE DATABASE. THE LINK IN THE DATABASE IS THE ONE WHICH THEY USED TO UPLOAD BUT NOW WHEN THIS IS FIRED UP I NEED TO REWRITE IT SO THAT INSTEAD OF FOR EXAMPLE HTTP://HOMESTART/JKDF/FILRNAME.DOC WHICH IS RETRIEVED FROM THE DATABASE AND FIRED UP THIS SHOULD BE WWW.JKDF.FILENAME.DOC.

CAN SOMEONE PLEASE HELP I HAVE BEEN STRUGGLING FOR THE PAST TWO DAYS.

THANKS
