Using href with php and html

Question

I'm trying to print in a table some rows and i want to print the variable .$row['web']. as a link.

The code is:

while($row = $sql_esp->fetch_array())
  {
    echo "<tr>";
    echo "<td style='border: 1px solid black;'>".$row['name']."</td>";
    echo "<td style='border: 1px solid black;'>".$row['place']."</td>";
    echo "<td style='border: 1px solid black;'>".$row['web']."</td>";
    echo "<td style='border: 1px solid black;'>".$row['email']."</td>";
    echo "<td style='border: 1px solid black;'>".$row['note']."</td>";
    echo "</tr></tbody</table>";
    }
    echo "</div>";

I tried to change this line:

echo "<td style='border: 1px solid black;'>".$row['web']."</td>";

in:

echo "<td style='border: 1px solid black;'><a href='".$row['web']."'></td>";

But it doesn't work. How can i fix?

Answer 1

<a> tag needs a text after and a closing </a> so:

echo "<td style='border: 1px solid black;'><a href='".$row['web']."'>".$row['web']."</a></td>";
