Either I missed the answer on the mailing list, or it was accidentally skipped, so I'll re-ask...
I have a bit of text ( a TEXT field in mySQL ) and there may or may not be URLs in this text. (These URLs are defined as anything starting with http://, mailto:, or www.). Some of these URLs may or may not be already contained with an HTML A HREF tag. I need a regular expression that'll find these URLs and convert them to valid A HREF tags while leaving those URLs that are already in appropriate tags alone.
Can anybody offer any assitance on this? I'm afraid I'm a bit weak in the regex areas....
