How are you fetching the data from your query? If you use pg_fetch_array(),
or one of the related functions, you can pick out the individual data
elements from the array and put whatever formatting you like around them.

  Hi Arun,

  You should review the printf and sprintf documentation. It is a bit
  daunting at first, but makes sense after a bit of work.

  To answser your question as best I can without seeing source code,
  here is one way to make a link using a printf statement

  $link = "http://www.php.net/";
  $text = "PHP Website";
  printf ('<a href="%s">%s</a>', $link, $text);

  Notice that the first %s is replaced with the value of $link,
  while the second %s is replaced with the value of $text.


  It looks like you are just getting started with PHP - you can
  find a lot of helpful resources at http://www.php.net/support.php


  Good Luck and happy PHPing!
