[Plugin: WP Easy Post Types] How do I convert a plain text field containing a url into a clickable h

Here, here!
Help?

Ok here’s what I have:
<?php $mcf = get_ept_field('web_website', array('raw' => 'true') ); var_dump($mcf); ?>

BUT…. for some reason it’s throwing in some string for me:
<a href="string(25) "https://www.domain.com" ">See this item live!</a>
WTF?! Help?

Also, if I didn’t point it out, it adds quotation marks (“”) around the text (domain).

Really weird.

Here’s what I use:

<a href="<?php echo get_post_meta($post->ID, 'put your custom post type field name here',true) ?>">link text</a>
