You might want to consider using vbCode, there is a nice class for PHP here: http://www.phpclasses.org/browse/package/1379.html HTH, cheers.

Silvio Thanks, but I already use PEAR HTML_BBCodeParser for that part.. :) I solved it by a lookbehind, if there isn't a whitespace before the URL, just jump over it.

Silvio Thanks, but I already use PEAR HTML_BBCodeParser for that part.. :) I solved it by a lookbehind, if there isn't a whitespace before the URL, I answered your question stating that a regexp with a negative-lookahead assertion would probably be a good way to go... but it seems my post never arrived ... anyway I think a negative lookahead or lookbehind assertion will cut it. I would just like to add that you might consider looking behind for something a little more specific that a white space (or lack of it); consider what happens when you are given the following HTML snippet: pclick this: bhttp://yourdomain.com/something/b depending on the processing you do to the text prior to linkifying (made that word up!) this may not be relevant. just jump over it.
