How to print plain text without showing its hyperlink

Question

Good day! I was trying to output a generated links from a given array and it was successful. The problem that confuses me is that when I try to click control print ( ctrl + P ) to print the page, it also shows the entire hyperlink, should i change my php code or is it done in html? and also i am using bootstrap 3. When i test other live pages it doesn't do that. What should I do? Thank you.

this is a snippet from my code

foreach($array as $key) {

    echo '<td ><a target="_blank" href="http://example.com/">'.$key.'</a></td>';

}

the preview in printer shows it like this:

1 ( http://example.com/ )
2 ( http://example.com/ )

what i need is only the plain text:

Modify your printing options not to print the URLs? But seriously, you may have to do this with CSS. I can't remember how I used to do it, it's been a long time, but it can be done. — Funk Forty Niner, Oct 13 '14 at 15:35
Can you explain further? Please also print the content of your $array — user1149244, Oct 13 '14 at 15:38
but why are the other live pages don't act like that., do they have a script that will auto modify the printing options of the user? — Meghan Lee, Oct 13 '14 at 15:41

I found an answer to my question but anyway thank you for all your opinions and suggestions. I appreciate it. It is a bootstrap issue and this link answers my problem.

@media print {
  a[href]:after {

Try this:

<style type="text/css" media="print">
    @page 
    {
    a[href]::after {
    content: " (" attr(href) ")"
}
    }
</style>
