note 78359 added to function.preg-replace

Here's a derivate of Iasmin's function. This one handles URL's followed by a period or comma too and adds a _blank target to the hyperlinks. Additionally it replaces e-mail addresses with a mailto hyperlink. <?php function hyperlink($text) { // match protocol://address/path/file.extension?some=variable&another=asf% $text = preg_replace("/\s([a-zA-Z]+:\/\/[a-z][a-z0-9\_\.\-]* [a-z]{2,6}[a-zA-Z0-9\/\*\-\?\&\%]*)([\s|\.|\,])/i", " <a href=\"$1\" target=\"_blank\">$1</a>$2", $text); // match www.something.domain/path/file.extension?some=variable&another=asf% $text = preg_replace("/\s(www\.[a-z][a-z0-9\_\.\-]* [a-z]{2,6}[a-zA-Z0-9\/\*\-\?\&\%]*)([\s|\.|\,])/i", " <a href=\"http://$1\" target=\"_blank\">$1</a>$2", $text); // match name@address $text = preg_replace("/\s([a-zA-Z][a-zA-Z0-9\_\.\-]*[a-zA-Z]* \@[a-zA-Z][a-zA-Z0-9\_\.\-]*[a-zA-Z]{2,6})([\s|\.|\,])/i", " <a href=\"mailto://$1\">$1</a>$2", $text); return $text; } ?> ---- Server IP: 85.12.26.134 Probable Submitter: 213.160.196.156 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.preg-replace.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/78359 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/78359/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/78359/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/78359/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/78359/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/78359/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/78359/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/78359 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/78359 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
