Hello.. I searched for an answer on the simple quesiton but I am only finding
complex answers... I simply just want to add a link in my database so when
my results display you can see the information.. and when they click the
link it takes them to the webpage of the article. I tried inserting
examplesite.com User sees this text but when the results page shows.. it
doesnt show the hyperlink.. Thank you all very much!

You have to add the href tags in the html output for the text to be a
link........

in your while statement or whatever your using to obtains the links from the
database already,

instead of just displaying $link_value, change it to

<a href="$link_value">$link_value</a>
