Re: Converting URL's to hyperlinks.

Maybe I misunderstood the OP, OP ?

but wouldn't this (or something like it) be easier and cleaner than that mess below?? No, it's dirty too.

$url = preg_replace("/(\w+@\w+\.[a-zA-Z]{2,3})/i", "<a href='mailto:$1'>$1</a>", $url); This violate the numerous RFC about mail addresses, and some other stuffs.

$url = preg_replace("/\s(http:\/\/)?(\w*\.?\w*\.[a-zA-Z]{2,3}.*?\s)/i", " <a href='http://$2' target='_blank'>$2</a>", $url);

Same as previously. What about .info, .museum and so on tld ? The filter_var is well suited for this kind of job. Oh, and your regex isn't smart (you use the case insensitivity flag, but seek A-Z characters...) :D -- Mickaël Wolff aka Lupus Michaelis http://lupusmic.org
