Re: problem of retrieving urls from mysql

I am getting link from visitor using form, that means I don't have control what they would type. e.g they may type http://www.suggestedlink.com/myfav.wav, www.suggestedlink.com/myfav.ram and http://suggestedlink.com/myfav.mp3 or so I am looking general version which can handle all. and on top of that I wanted to play music file in to the default player, but it did not work. I used something like this. select music_file from music where id=\"$id\" $temp = $result <src=\"$temp\"> so everything is working fine except I got file not found, and the file path is something like this http://www.mydomain.com/www.suggestedlink/myfav.mp3 so what should I do.
