HTML a href link within info page?

[Druss]

I created a infopage on my site for resorces that my customers can check out, using the define mainpage contrib I just copied the code to create a box in the middle with tables and the text is defined in a variable and then displayed.

 

I'm trying to get these links to work but each one shows up as www.reiltoys.com/wwwyojoecom and just points back to my store...any suggestions?

 

Heres the snipped of code

 

$mainpage_title = "Usefull Collectors Resources!";

$mainpage_info = "The following links are some pages I have found very helpfull

as a collector, included are G.I.Joe, Star Wars, Transformeres, Comic Book, and

Magic the Gathering websites. If you know of a great collector resource please

let me know and I'll see about adding it! <p>

 

<a href=\"http://www.yojoe.com\">YoJoe.com</a> - The premiere G.I.Joe Site on the web.

A full archive of all Figures, Vehicles, Comic Books, etc, etc...you name it and

they have a page on it with pictures and lots of info!<p>

You are going to have problems if you are hardcoding the URL and the customer has cookies turned off - they will lose their session by following the link

 

Use tep_href_link() - there are loads of places in the code where this is used, so you can see how it works.

I've tried that function as well but I've yet to get the actual link to work, it behaves the same way a hardcoded link does and sends me to

www.reiltoys.com/wwwyojoecom

 

So it appends the link I'm trying to use at the end of my store url.
