How do I assign urls from a mysql database to a button

[nichols]

I have some dropdown boxes with records from a mysql database. I want users to be able to select one of the options and it direct them to a new page which will have a table listing records which tie in with the search criteria.

However there is one field which has urls of pages that the searcher may want to visit. I want for each result returned for there to be a button at the end of the table row which says something like 'click here to go to this page' and the relevant url for that record to be assigned to that button as a hyperlink. Is this possible and if so how do I go about doing it?

just output the html.

will that not just display the html code on the page though?

No, because a browser will render HTML... that's what it does.
