URL Link from HTML form to PHP page - php

Question

I have read a lot of submissions, I haven't been able to find an answer to my exact question.
I am filling out an HTML form that is sent into mysql database - I am good there.
The results are displayed using php in a html table. I would like the website URL to show as a hyperlink. Everything I do results in an error.
Does anyone know how I can update my code to allow for the website url to show as a hyperlink?
[$dbname = "seller";
// Create connection
$conn = new mysqli($servername, $username, $password, $dbname);
// Check connection
if ($conn->connect_error) {
die("Connection failed: " . $conn->connect_error);
}
$sql = "SELECT website, url, price, name, email FROM listing";
$result = $conn->query($sql);
if ($result->num_rows > 0) {
echo "<table><tr><th>Website</th><th>URL</th><th>Price</th><th>Contact Name</th><th>Email</th></tr>";
// output data of each row
while($row = $result->fetch_assoc()) {
echo "<tr><td>" . $row["website"]. "</td><td>" . $row["url"]. " </td><td>" . $row["price"]. "</td><td>" . $row["name"]. "</td><td> " . $row["email"]. "</td></tr>";
}
echo "</table>";
} else {
echo "0 results";
}
$conn->close();
?>]
Thanks

Answer 1

Have you tried this...
echo "<tr><td></td><td><a href='" . $row['url']. "'>" . $row['website']. "</a> </td><td>" . $row["price"]. "</td><td>" . $row["name"]. "</td><td> " . $row["email"]. "</td></tr>";
You could also just change 'Link to website' to " . $row["website"]. " for it to display the link

Answer 2

If you use an a tag it should work.
URL

Answer 3

echo "<tr><td><a href=\"{$row['url']}>{$row['website']}</a></td>...etc
You should also consider closing the tags to get a cleaner code:
<?php if ($condition) { ?>
<div>HTML code!</a>
<?php } ?>

Answer 4

Add an anchor tag <a href=""> inside the table data tag <td> inside your while loop.
Change this line:
echo "<tr><td>".$row["website"]."</td><td>".$row["url"]." </td><td>".$row["price"]."</td><td>".$row["name"]."</td><td> ".$row["email"]."</td></tr>";
Into this:
echo "<tr><td><a href='".$row["website"]."'>".$row["website"]."</a></td><td>".$row["url"]." </td><td>".$row["price"]."</td><td>".$row["name"]."</td><td> ".$row["email"]."</td></tr>";

Answer 5

That will be great if you can show me the error otherwise
Try this:
while($row = $result->fetch_assoc()) {
echo "<tr><td>" . $row["website"]. "</td><td><a href='".$row["url"]."'>Link</a> </td><td>" . $row["price"]. "</td><td>" . $row["name"]. "</td><td> " . $row["email"]. "</td></tr>";
}

Answer 6

use this
echo '<tr><td>' . $row["website"]. '</td><td>'; echo $row["name"]; echo' </td><td>' . $row["price"]. '</td><td>' . '</td><td> ' . $row["email"]. '</td></tr>';
instead of
echo "<tr><td>" . $row["website"]. "</td><td>" . $row["url"]. " </td><td>" . $row["price"]. "</td><td>" . $row["name"]. "</td><td> " . $row["email"]. "</td></tr>";
