Thanks guys.

I'm getting in a mess here... I've written the page where the user inputs 
the URL into a text box (as "url"), which passes the URL to the results page 
as follows:

Cut and paste this link: <?php echo $_POST["url"]; ?>

which will display the text "cut and paste this link" along with the URL 
that they entered. I need to add the <a href and the closing </a> around the 
URL, without spaces, so that the user can copy the entire line and paste it 
into the forum box.
