Here's a function that was sent to me in response to me needing the exact
same thing:
function pb_t2h_URLMarkup ($Text, $StyleClass = '', $Target = '')
{
if ($StyleClass != '')
$ClassS = " class='$StyleClass'";
else
$ClassS = "";
if ($Target != '')
$TargetS = " target='$Target'";
else
$TargetS = '';
/* Match for URL strings (the part after 'http://'). Only does quite
* loose matching. Handles URL parameters and urlencoded chars (%xy).
* '&' chars have to be treated specially because htmlentities()
* converts them to '&' */
$URLSMatch = '([\w\.\/~\?%=\-\&]|&)+)';
$Patterns = array ('/([^"\']|\A)(http:\/\/' . $URLSMatch . '/',
'/([^"\'])(ftp:\/\/[\w\.\/~\-]+)/',
'/([^"\'\w-\.\/]|\A)(www\.' . $URLSMatch . '/',
'/([^"\'\w\.~\-=]+@[\w\.~\-]+)/');
$Replacements = array ("\\1<a href='\\2'$ClassS$TargetS>\\2</a>",
"\\1<a href='\\2'$ClassS$TargetS>\\2</a>",
"\\1<a
href='http://\\2'$ClassS$TargetS>\\2</a>",
"<a href='mailto:\\1'$ClassS>\\1</a>");
return preg_replace ($Patterns, $Replacements, $Text);
}
