If your DB has the name, link stored in it then just select both columns and
then output them to your HTML formatted output. Small example:
$sth=$dbh->do("select player, link from hockeylist");
print qq!<a href="$link">$player</a>!;

Hey Everybody,
I have an online database where I use a CGI script that uses the DBI to
return the values from
Mysql. How do I return a link?
For example, if I have a database for hockey players, and I return the name
"Wayne Gretzky." Is
there a way to make that a link that will go to say, NHL.com ??
Where would I insert the html tag <a href="http://www.nhl.com";>Wayne
Gretzky</a> ??
Many thanks.
simon
