Why not use lower(link) in SQL to get the link out in the first place?
Also, the domain part cannot be case-sensitive, so you needn't worry
about that part.
For the 10% that don't work, a quick check with common variants on
capitalization might help to fix those up.
Since these are mostly instructor's websites, that last 10% I figure
it would be easier to just ask the instructors to change their site
addresses.
Since these are in the middle of the text, I don't think that lower
will work. Doesn't it just do the same thing as strtolower? The query
as is right now is (edited) "select note_text as note_text from
classes" where note_text is many lines of text and in the middle of
some are links and emails.
What I ended up with, is this, which takes care of website addresses
and emails as well (although those stay all-caps). The str_replace is
there because some have the HTTP and some don't and I figured it was
easier to just wipe them all out first.
$section_notes = str_replace("HTTP://","",$section_notes);
$section_notes = preg_replace('/WWW.(.*?) /e', '"www." . strtolower("$1") . "\" target=\"_blank\">http://www."; .
strtolower("$1") . ""', $section_notes);
$section_notes = eregi_replace("(([a-z0-9_]|\\-|\\.)+@([^[:space:]]*)
([[:alnum:]-]))", "mailto:\\1\";>\\1",$section_notes);
Anyone have a better idea on how to accomplish the same thing?

For some reason I can't get it to work if I decare those items as
variables. They have to be inside the preg_replace as written. But,
it works now. Thanks for the help.

[PHP] Preg_match - Find URL and convert to lower case
I have some text that comes out of a database all in uppercase (old IBM Mainframe that only supports uppercase characters). Occasionally there are web addresses in this text and so I am trying to find them, convert them to a link, and convert them all to all lower case. Yes, I know that will not work for all links. However, it will work for about 90% of the links I have (vs. about 10% of them now). So anyway, here is my first stab at this, but it only finds the link and converts the first part to lowercase and converts it to a link. Is there anyway to convert the output to all lowercase by doing something like this? Or is there a better way? $pattern = "/WWW.(.*?) /i"; $replace = "http://www.\\1\";>http://www.\\1"; $section_notes = preg_replace($pattern,$replace,$section_notes); -- Kevin Murphy Webmaster: Information and Marketing Services Western Nevada Community College www.wncc.edu 775-445-3326
