Storing a Hyperlink in an FM text field

[Digital Life]

I want to store link text similar to this in a text field and then have it work on a web page:

Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks.

The technique you have described can be done, but you will have to escape each of the " characters when storing the HTML markup as a text string.

This looks something like: "http:www.page.com"

After the code is stored in your database the Web Page can be built dynamically from within a PHP page using the getField() API function and the PHP ECHO command.

Hope this helps.

Use getFieldUnencoded();

getField() will HTML encode the string, getFieldUnencoded() will not -- this is a security feature.
