Make HTML 'value' attribute a link
Question
I'd like to turn the output of the HTML input value into a clickable link.
Currently, it looks like: <input type="email" class="form-control" name="contactEmail" value="<?php echo $row_rsContactDetails['contactEmail']; ?>">
I've tried using PHP and JavaScript to create the link but this just ended up displaying the HTML code verbatim.
Can it be done, and if so, how?

You could use javascript/jquery to achieve the same.
<html>
<body>
<input type="email" class="form-control" name="contactEmail" value="LINK HERE">
<span id="output"></span>
<script>
$(document).ready(function(){
var str = "LINK TITLE HERE";
var valueToLink = $(".form-control").val() //fetches the string to be converted to
//link
var result = str.link(valueToLink);
document.getElementById("output").innerHTML = result;
})
</script>
</body>
</html>
You could also hook up the above logic to an event call, eg, button click.

You don't need to enter the link to output as value, you need a workaround here is my suggestion:
https://jsfiddle.net/4w58ed3o/1/
HTML:
<div class="box">
<input type="email" id="myinput" value="default@email.com">
<a href="#" id="mylink"></a>
</div>
<button id="myswitcher">Edit</button>
JS:
let input = document.querySelector('#myinput');
let link = document.querySelector('#mylink');
let myswitcher = document.querySelector('#myswitcher');
let setLink = () => {
link.innerHTML = input.value;
link.setAttribute('href', 'mailto:' + input.value);
}
input.addEventListener('input', () => {
setLink();
});
setLink();
myswitcher.addEventListener('click', () => {
document.querySelector('.box').classList.add('editable');
input.focus();
});
input.addEventListener('blur', () => {
document.querySelector('.box').classList.remove('editable');
});
CSS
input, a {
display: inline-block;
padding: 0;
padding: 10px;
margin: 0;
text-decoration: none;
font-size: 16px;
font-family: inherit;
box-shadow: none;
border: none;
line-height: 1.2;
background-color: transparent;
}
input:focus, a:focus {
outline: 1px solid #000;
}
.box {
position: relative;
display: inline-block;
}
input {
position: absolute;
box-sizing: border-box;
top: 0;
left: 0;
width: 100%;
}
.box input {
opacity: 0;
pointer-events: none;
}
.box.editable a {
opacity: 0;
pointer-events: none;
}
.box.editable input {
opacity: 1;
pointer-events: auto;
}
I made a working example of implementation for you, substitute data from the server and be inspired by my solution.

I don't think it is possible, but you can try this. And you can put <?php echo $row_rsContactDetails['contactEmail']; ?> <?php echo $row_rsContactDetails['contactEmail']; ?> in place to "SOME TEXT" as well.
<a href="<?php echo $row_rsContactDetails['contactEmail']; ?>">SOME TEXT</a>
