Question

<?php echo "<a href=\"".$sql_slct->f("link_url")."\" target=\"_blank\">".$sql_slct->f("link_title")."</a>"; ?>

the above code will produced an output like this:

http://localhost/msuptplportal/app/cedec/www.softboxkid.com

How can I redirect the user to the last path which is http://www.softboxkid.com everytime user click the hyperlink?

Answer 1

If by last path, you mean the URL where the user came from, you can use that:

<a href="<?=$_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER']?>">Back</a>

EDIT: What I think you want is to remove the whole …localhost… thingy. That you can do like this:

<?php
    $url = $sql_slct->f("link_url");
    if (0 !== stripos($url, 'http://')) {
       $url = 'http://' . $url;
    }
    echo '<a href="'.$url.'" target="_blank">'.$sql_slct->f("link_title").'</a>';
?>
