I have a html link in a mysql data base field that is getting queried
using PHP. My problem is when the page is rendered, the link displays
the html not an actual clickable link. Any help'd be greatly
appreciated.

Thanks

Tough to say what the problem might be -- you have not provided any of
your code.

This is the PHP i'm using to talk with the mysql database:
<?php

require_once('../../includes/scripts/db_connector.php');
$connector = new DB_Connector();
$result = $connector ->
query('SELECT * FROM questions WHERE topic_id
= 0');
echo '<span class="title">Questions: Top 5</span>';
echo '<div class="title_rule"></div>';
while($row = $connector -> fetchArray($result)) {
echo '<div class="question">'.$row['question'].'</div>';
echo nl2br('<div class="answer">'.$row['answer'].'</div>');
echo '<div id="faq_bttn" class="faq_more"></div>';
echo '<div class="dotted_rule"></div>';
}
?>

The problem is I have this for example <a href="link.html">Link</a> in
one of the fields in the mysql database. When the page loads it shows
the html <a href="link.html">Link</a> NOT a clickable link.

The problem is how you store the value to the database, you most likely used
htmlentities() or a simialr function on the string before you stored it, which
makes it to be displayed as it's written and not parsed by the browser as
html-code.--

Aho,
How'd you recommend the best way to do this?

If you use a form to input the data, you may need to use
html_entity_decode() to get rid of all htm encoded characters (you do not want
those)

Before you store data into the database, you want to run addslashes(), this
prevents problems with " or ' in the strings.

And when you fetched the data from the database, use stripslashes(), before
you echo things out.

Forget the stripslashes!

I'm guessing some special characters we likely converted, such as "<" to "&lt;
or ">
" to "&gt;". Might be how it was stored in MySQL, or maybe a function
you're passing the results through before being output.
