note 57740 added to function.preg-replace

An improved function I put together to process HTML strings from a database or output buffer. <? function linkScan($string1) { $pattern1 = "/(?<![\/\d\w])(http:\/\/)?([\w\d\-]+)((\.([\w\d\-])+){2,}) ([\/\?\w\d\.\-_&=+%]*)?/i"; $replace1 = "<a href=\\"http://$2$3$6\\" target=\\"popup\\">$0</a>"; $string2 = preg_replace($pattern1,$replace1,$string1); $pattern2 = "/[\d\w\.\-_]+@[\d\w\-_\.]+?\.[\w]{2,3}(\.[\w]{2,3})?/i"; $replace2 = "<a href=\\"mailto:$0\\">$0</a>"; $string3 = preg_replace($pattern2,$replace2,$string2); return $string3; } ?> ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.preg-replace.php Edit -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+57740 Delete: added to the manual -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+57740&report=yes&reason=added+to+the+manual Delete: bad code -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+57740&report=yes&reason=bad+code Delete: spam -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+57740&report=yes&reason=spam Delete: useless -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+57740&report=yes&reason=useless Delete: non-english -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+57740&report=yes&reason=non-english Delete: already in docs -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+57740&report=yes&reason=already+in+docs Delete: other reasons -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+57740&report=yes Reject -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+57740&report=yes Search -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
