Note Submitter: toxic79_spam at yahoo dot com ---- here's another way to link urls in text. unlike the others i see here, this one doesn't link urls that have already been linked so you won't get <a href="<a href="http://www.blah.com">http://www.blah.com</a>">link</a> if your text ($txt) already has links in it. it's been quickly tested with uppercase, lowercase, http and ftp, secure urls, ports and query strings. it won't work if the url has spaces in it, but if you convert them to %20 it'll be ok. $txt = preg_replace( "/(?<!<a href=\")((http|ftp)+(s)?:\/\/[^<>\s]+)/i", "<a href=\"\\0\">\\0</a>", $txt );
