How's this:
<?php
// $s contains the entry from the table.
// Non-strict url matching.
$s = preg_replace('/(http:\/\/[^\s]+)/i', "<A href=\"$1\">$1</A>", $s);
?>
This is very non strict. Anything starting with http:// until the next
whitespace (\s) is clickable. You might want to put a more strict rule in
there, but it depends on the text your searching in. Note that above code
does not work when an url is at the end of a line, and followed by a
period (.).
