Link for Dynamic Field to Open PDF or Word?

[WPW07]

Hello,

(MySQL/PHP)

I have a MySQL table called projects. In the projects table is a field called [uploadedfile]. This field contains the name of a document the users previously uploaded to a folder on the server. I have a Detail page has a table that displays the project data including the [uploadedfile] field. Is there a way to make a link to the [uploadedfile] field, so the user will click on the link, and the document will open? Here is the code:

<td valign="top"><?php echo $row_DetailRS1['uploadedfile']; ?></td>

Thanks for your help

<td valign="top">
<a href="<?php echo $row_DetailRS1['uploadedfile']; ?>"><?php echo $row_DetailRS1['uploadedfile']; ?></a>
</td>

Thanks Ken. Out of curiosity, how does this work? Why the same code twice?

The first one is the link, and the second one is what is seen on the page.
