note 29803 added to function.preg-replace

Closer to the Holy Grail... Same function as before (see above a couple spots), but now using forward and back references. Will spot and trim URLs which end in more than one non-word chracter. So: www.someurl.com!!?!?! Becomes: <a href="http://www.someurl.com">www.someurl.com</a>!!?!?! function addLinks($string) { $string = preg_replace( "/(?<!quot;|[=\"]|:\/\/)\b((\w+:\/\/|www\.).+?)". "(?=\W*([<>\s]|$))/i", "<a href=\"$1\">$1</a>", $string); return preg_replace("/href=\"www/i", "href=\"http://www", $string);} Enjoy, I hope! :) Grey -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.preg-replace.php http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+29803 http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+29803 http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+29803
