On page coding solution, without messing around with database... I think you can use regex to check whether the initial characters of fetched url are http:// or not. Even you can use php's strncmp function to build the same. Try this
$a = strncmp($fetched_url_string,"http://",7); if ($a == 0) { // Don't include http:// it's already there } else { // Include http:// } Hope this will help you :) --- On Thu, 9/4/08, Tedit kap <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > From: Tedit kap <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Subject: [php_mysql] replace link text > To: php_mysql@yahoogroups.com > Date: Thursday, September 4, 2008, 8:27 AM > Hi, > > I am trying to modify the values I entered before into a > mysql table column where I had entered links only.
