Convert php line to display link instead of plain text

Hi All,

Having some newbie troubles over here ??
I am using this language bar flags plugin and need to tweak it a little.

At the left there are a couple of country flags and on the right there is some text to go with it.

<div id="langbf_bar">
        <div class="langbf_links">
           <ul>
             <?php echo $output; ?>
           </ul>
	   <?php if(get_option('langbf_title') != ''){ echo '<span class="langbf_title">' . get_option('langbf_title') . '</span>'; } ?>
        </div>
      </div>

This is the code like it is now, the first part takes care of the flags.
The part from <?php takes care of the text which you can edit in the administration panel of the plugin.

What i would want is this text to become a link. For instance google.com
I tried this and it just didnt show up:

<span class="langbf_title"><a href="https://www.google.com">Click for the Googles </a></span>

I tried it in HTML and php.

Can’t get it to work, any leeds or tips?

Thanks a bunch!
