Note Submitter: Krzysiek Kobrzak kobrzak at wp dot pl ---- Another proposal for those who are looking for some nice "replace URLs with links" script. Actually I found bugs in all the suggestions above. My script replaces URLs and e-mail addresses no matter how many of them there are in the string. The URL must start with "http: // (ftp, https)", "http: // www" or just "www". function url_to_link($str) { global $str; $str = eregi_replace ("[[:alpha:]]+://www", "www",$str); $str = ereg_replace ("[[:alpha:]]+://[^<>[:space:]]+[[:alnum:]/](\.[a-z0-9-]{2,4})+", "<a href=\\0 target=_blank>\\0</a>", $str); $str = ereg_replace ("www.[^<>[:space:]]+[[:alnum:]/](\.[a-z0-9-]{2,4})+", "<a href=http://\\0 target=_blank>\\0</a>", $str); $str = ereg_replace ("[[:alpha:]]+@[^<>[:space:]]+[[:alnum:]/](\.[a-z0-9-]{2,4})+", "<a href=mailto:\\0 target=_blank>\\0</a>", $str); }
