Ryan,
You can use the following function:
function FormatUrl($url)
{
if (eregi("www", $url))
$result = "http://$url";;
else
$result = "http://www.$url";;
return $result;
}
You can test it using:
$test1 = FormatUrl("google.com");
$test2 = FormatUrl("www.google.com");
print "test1 = $test1<br>";
print "test2 = $test2<br>";
And this will give you the results:
test1 = http://www.google.com
test2 = http://www.google.com
Good luck!
