note 47593 added to function.preg-replace

This function is better than paul's, it 'stops' linking after a white-space. It also converts uris without http://(optional). <? function convert_links($str, $www = false) { #this converts http://* the link ends at the next space or(if there is no space) at the end of the string. $str = preg_replace('#(http://)([^\s]*)#', '<a href="\\1\\2">\\1\\2</a>', $str); #optional, replaces www.* if($www) { $str = preg_replace('=(www.)([^\s]*)=', '<a href="http://\\1\\2">\\1\\2</a>', $str); } return $str; } ?> ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.preg-replace.php Edit -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+47593 Delete -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+47593&report=yes Reason: bad code -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+47593&report=yes&reason=bad+code Reason: spam -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+47593&report=yes&reason=spam Reason: useless example -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+47593&report=yes&reason=useless+example Reason: contains commercial links -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+47593&report=yes&reason=contains+commercial+links Reason: useless note -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+47593&report=yes&reason=useless+note Reject -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+47593&report=yes Search -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
