RE: [PHP-DB] problem of retrieving urls from mysql

actually, you may want to check the source of the page. if the url does not start with "http://" (or https, or ftp, etc.), browsers will assume the link is on the current server. how are you storing the urls? as full urls, as domain/path/file.htm, ....? if all of your urls should start with "http://", you could either store them in the database that way or echo 'http://' . $temp; hope this helps.
