Displaying A Hyperlink

I pull a string out of MySQL and display it in an html page using PHP. It automatically becomes a hyperlink but if it is a link to a document (www.web.com/test.doc) it won't translate it into a hyperlink. Does anybody know how I might do this?

Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

Gareth.

show me how you are doing this...


any way,just try the following:

<?php


$result=mysql_query("select docname from tblname where somefield='value'",$con);
// select query

$row=mysql_fetch_array($result);
//return rows


echo "<a href=".$row[0]."> Your document</a>n";

// print the document name inside anchor element.

?>
