Hi Arun,

You should review the printf and sprintf documentation. It is a bit
daunting at first, but makes sense after a bit of work.

To answser your question as best I can without seeing source code,
here is one way to make a link using a printf statement

$link = "http://www.php.net/";
$text = "PHP Website";
printf ('<a href="%s">%s</a>', $link, $text);

Notice that the first %s is replaced with the value of $link,
while the second %s is replaced with the value of $text.

It looks like you are just getting started with PHP - you can
find a lot of helpful resources at http://www.php.net/support.php

Good Luck and happy PHPing!
