Link Question 1

[carlg]

I should really know the answer to this but for some reason my mind is drawing blank.

I have a PHP page with a link in it.

Let's say

<A HREF="

http://www.google.com">click

here</A>

When I click the link it is looking for the following page
<MY DOC ROOT>/

http://www.google.com

which does not exist

How do I get this to work and go to google?

Thanks for the help

Add http:// to the link like so:

<a href="[red]http://[/red]

http://www.google.com">Click</a>

In most webservers anything that does not start with http:// is assumed to be local to the server. So ti looks in your document root for it.

Unknown has caused an Unknown Error on Unknown and must be shutdown to prevent damage to Unknown.

Forgot to mention that if you have a file named "[red]www.google.com[/red]" in your doc root. The link you posted will open that file.
