php - Link is not appearing correct in wordpress -

i trying link database in wordpress , user should direct link on single click.

i have achieved there 1 weird problem facing.

in custom php file have code.

<div style =" margin-bottom: 40px; "><div><li><a href="<?php echo $array_var ?>">         <?php echo get_the_post_thumbnail( $post_id, 350,'' ); ?></br><h2><?php the_title(); ?></h2></a><?php echo get_the_excerpt();?></li></div></div> 

here ahref tag coming "website custom page link/database-link". whereas @ other places coming link database (which correct case me.)

i explain little more.

<?php $query = new wp_query( array(             'post_type' => 'post',             'category_name' => 'trending',             'posts_per_page' => 8         ) );         $i=0;         while ($query->have_posts()) : $query->the_post();          $post_id= $query->post->id;          $array_var=$link_array[$i];         **echo $array_var;**          ?>     <ul>         <div style =" margin-bottom: 40px; "><div><li>**<a href="<?php echo $array_var ?>">**         <?php echo get_the_post_thumbnail( $post_id, 350,'' ); ?></br><h2><?php the_title(); ?></h2></a><?php echo get_the_excerpt();?></li></div></div>     <?php      $i++;     endwhile; ?> </ul> 

i have marked 2 places in code in asterisk. both have same code behaviour different. @ first place getting link as, say, www.google.com , @ second place getting /www.google.com.

i want www.google.com only.

for reference, corresponding page www.coolfuzz.com, can see in first row above every thumbnail correct link(which not clickable btw) thumbnail has incorrect link.

please tell me how correct this?
