HELP WITH PRINTING DB CONTENTS

[liquidtrax]

I am reading a field from my database using the code

print "<td>".stripslashes ( $a_row['nickname']) ." </td>";

I want to make it so if it prints "DAVE" it is a hyperlink to profile.php?name=dave

is the hyperlink code something like below??

<a href="profile.php?name=<? echo $nickname ?>">

I am looking for someone to combine these codes (or edit it) and make it so what ever the database prints, it is made into a hyperlink

All help is greatly appreciated

I wish my computer would do what I want it to do,
instead of what I tell it to do...

 

[liquidtrax]

that code gives the below error


Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_STRING in /home/liquidt/public_html/roster2.php on line 82

 

[liquidtrax]

sorry, line 82 is the code you just gave me
