I use this function to make hyperlinks from user submitted URL's (useful
for notice boards, etc.):
$message = preg_replace(/((http(s?):\/\/)|(www\.))([\w\.]+)/i,
a href=\http$3://$4$5\
target=\_blank\$2$4$5/a, $message);

Subject: [PHP-DB] finding a link in large text blob
Is everyone ignoring me?? This is the third time I have asked for
assistance on this...
Is there an easy way (say using eregi_replace) to find a link reference
in a blob of text and add the a href anchor around it? Something like:
text has a link to a website at
http://www.whatever.com/mydirectory/mypage.html ...
and converts it to
text has a link to a website at a
href='http://www.whatever.com/mydirectory/mypage.html'website/a ...
My thoughts are that I should be able to do something like a
eregi_replace, finding any occurances of http:// and trapping all
non-space characters following it to convert to the anchor. But what
about multiples? How do I rebuild the text with the substitute strings?
Thanks in advance
Terry
