ID: 6893 Updated by: tal@php.net Reported By: pgl@instinct.org -Status: Analyzed +Status: Assigned Bug Type: PEAR related Operating System: N/A PHP Version: 4.0.2 -Assigned To: +Assigned To: tal New Comment: I'm planning to write a String_Manipulation (or something similiar, we'll probably fight about that... ;-)). Assigned to myself. -Tal Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-01-06 10:02:06] jan@php.net sounds if PEAR has another task ;). reclassified. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2000-09-26 19:36:44] pgl@instinct.org I don't know if this is the best way to submit a feature request, but I think it would be handy to have a builtin makelinks() function, to change all urls in a piece of text to actual links. eg, changing "my homepage is at http://www.arse.net/" to "my homepage is at <a href=http://www.arse.net/>http://www.arse.net/</a>". 'course, it's pretty easy to code this yourself, but then so is nl2br(), and having it as part of the source would (maybe?) make it faster. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=6893&edit=1
