note 81169 added to function.preg-replace

The code by Swedish Boy and others to replace hyperlinks is not very efficient. You can manage this in just one preg command instead of treating the text to three of them! Here's a more efficient version of it: -------------- function hyperlink($url) { if (preg_match( '/^(rtsp|mms|mmst|http|https|ftp|mailto|call|news):\/LINEBREAK \/((?:[a-zA-Z0-9_-]+\.?)+):?(\d*)/i' ,$url )) { return '<a href="' . $url . '" target="_blank">' . $url . '</a>'; } else { return $url; } } -------------- This commenting system on the php.net site does not allow lines longer than a certain character limit, so my code has the word "LINEBREAK" in it. Delete that word and make sure you delete nothing else. The two lines separated by LINEBREAK will become one line in your code. Hope this helps. ---- Server IP: 202.79.178.91 Probable Submitter: 218.186.14.74 (proxied: 218.212.6.27) ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.preg-replace.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/81169 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/81169/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/81169/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/81169/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/81169/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/81169/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/81169/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/81169 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/81169 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
