note 82970 added to function.ereg-replace

In response to a post above, his coding was a bit wrong. The correct coding should be : <?php function hyperlink($text) { // match protocol://address/path/ $text = ereg_replace("[a-zA-Z]+://([.]?[a-zA-Z0-9_/-])*", "<a href=\"\\0\">\\0</a>", $text); // match www.something $text = ereg_replace("(^| )(www([.]?[a-zA-Z0-9_/-])*)", "\\1<a href=\"http://\\2\">\\2</a>", $text); // return $text return $text; } ?> You can use this function like this: <?php $line = "Check the links: www.yahoo.com http://www.php.net"; hyperlink($line); // Now, all text that looks like a link becomes a link ?> ---- Server IP: 208.69.120.35 Probable Submitter: 96.228.159.168 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.ereg-replace.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/82970 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/82970/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/82970/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/82970/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/82970/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/82970/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/82970/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/82970 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/82970 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
