link for website - El Forum - 10-04-2008
[eluser]PHP Programmer[/eluser]
I am trying to add a link by using anchor() function.
I have a string say "Click Here" and I want to establish a link on it say www.google.com
I am doing it like:
anchor("$search->url", "Click Here")
But I am conveyed to http://localhost/mySite/www.google.com because $search->url is assigned to www.google.com in my DB
How can make a link to www.google.com directly.
Please suggest

there's also a helper function called prep_url() that will add the http:// only if it's necessary (in cases where you won't know if it's there or not, i.e., user inputted urls).
Check the manual for the url helper.
