note 79593 added to function.preg-replace

I further refined the regular expression to support underscores in the URL as well as support a string that ends in a parenthesis, for example, (see: http://www.php.net) $content_text = preg_replace("/[^<> ]([a-zA-Z] +:\/\/[a-z][a-z0-9\_\.\-]*[a-z]{2,6}[a-zA-Z0-9\/ \*\_\.\-\?\&\%\=]*)([^\s|\)|\.|\,<])/i",'<a href= "$0" target="_blank">$0</a>',$content_text); ---- Server IP: 64.71.164.2 Probable Submitter: 128.104.174.154 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.preg-replace.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/79593 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/79593/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/79593/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/79593/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/79593/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/79593/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/79593/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/79593 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/79593 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
