note 80877 added to function.preg-replace

This is another version of Hyperlink/URL replacement which handles most type of links. This one worked better for me: <?php function hyperlink($text) { // match protocol://address/path/file.extension?some=variable&another=asf% $text = preg_replace("/([a-zA-Z]+:\/\/[a-z0-9\_\.\-]+". "[a-z]{2,6}[a-zA-Z0-9\/\*\-\?\&\%\=\,\.]+)/", " <a href=\"$1\" target=\"_blank\">$1</a>", $text); // match www.something.domain/path/file.extension?some=variable&another=asf% $text = preg_replace("/[^a-z]+[^:\/\/](www\.". "[^\.]+[\w][\.|\/][a-zA-Z0-9\/\*\-\?\&\%\=\,\.]+)/", " <a href=\"http://$1\" target=\"_blank\">$1</a>", $text); // match name@address + ?subject etc... $text = preg_replace( "/([\s|\,\>])([a-zA-Z][a-zA-Z0-9\_\.\-]*[a-z" . "A-Z]*\@[a-zA-Z][a-zA-Z0-9\_\.\-]*[a-zA-Z]{2,6})" . "([A-Za-z0-9\!\?\@\#\$\%\^\&\*\(\)\_\-\=\+]*)" . "([\s|\.|\,\<])/i", "$1<a href=\"mailto:$2$3\">$2</a>$4", $text); ?> ---- Server IP: 129.16.214.50 Probable Submitter: 81.233.184.99 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.preg-replace.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/80877 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/80877/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/80877/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/80877/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/80877/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/80877/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/80877/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/80877 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/80877 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
