hyperlink with echo'ed field

[entoone]

The following outputs a filed for the users website, I'm looking for a way
to hyperlink the output so if someone clicks on the link, it will open their
site in new window. Also if the text that is hyperlinked is their actual url
that would be awesome. Thanks in advance. I have been looking all night for
examples and have not nothing that's close to this.
<? echo "$web"; ?>

[entoone]

I tried that, and a few other variations, and can't get it to work.

It puts the words of web and a hyperlink, but to a local area on the server
its running, not the url that is stored in the field.

Something like:
echo '<a href="' . $web . '">' . $web . '</a>';
?

Post your code here.. it'll make life easier for anyone willing to
help to actually help you, as I (and others) could hazard guesses at
your problem, but as shown already, a guess isn't always a solution
=)

I suspect something very simple is amiss somewhere (possibly a mixup
of " with ') but seeing your code should clarify and help us help you
=)

Ian

Thanks again!
This is from the top of the code

where the result is defined

$web=mysql_result($result,$i,"web");

This is the line that prints the result. Presenlty it only prints the url,
but I would like to hyperlink it the actualy url of the site.

By this, would I be right in assuming something like 'www.foo.bar' is
being stored as the URL? If I am...



<td width="278" height="12" bgcolor="#FFFFFF"><font
face="Verdana" size="2">&nbsp;<? echo "$web"; ?></font></td>

<a href="http://<?php echo $web;?>"><?php echo $web;?></a>
should turn that into a usable link =)

If I'm wrong, can you post an example of that's stored in the 'web'
field in your DB?

Ian
