PHP Code Help!

[Guest]

Hello,

I've inserted two dynamic fields from my database onto a page. One is the name of a person, the second is their email address - I've surrounded these two fields with a repeat region. How do I turn that email address into a "mailto:" link?

One more issue I have . . .

I have a table with two fields - the "long" name of a file ie: Agendas - October 1, 2008 - and a field that holds the actual file name "agenda_10-08.pdf"

The display page only holds the "long" name field. How do I link that field to the actual file name that is stored in another directory? I know how to do it with an image . . . . but not with a text field.

Thanks!

This must be easy . . . but I'm just learning PHP

<a href="mailto:<?php echo $row_rsNames['email']; ?>"><?php echo
$row_rsNames['email']; ?></a>

I use a newsreader to view these forums and don't see edits to posts.

This should work for your second question:

<a href="SomeFolder/<?php echo $row_rsFiles['fileName']; ?>"><?php echo
$row_rsFiles['longName']; ?></a>
