Thanks to Rob & Tim. Exactly what I needed.
I've got to expand my knowledge or reg and preg. I was attempting to use str positions and such to find it.
Uggh.

Thanks!

Try this one
preg_replace('/(http:\/\/[^\s<>]+)/i', '<a href="$1" target="_blank">$1</a>', $str);

Take out the target="_blank" if you want.

Look at preg_replace()

Sorry I don't have any code handy.

Hello all,

I have a string
$str = "This is the link to my website http://www.google.com";;

I want to 'encode' the link to be a clickable link, <a
href=http://www.google.com>www.google.com</a>.
The text would now be;
"This is the link to my website <a
href=http://www.google.com>www.google.com</a>";

What is the best way to do this? Samples code or a lib/class would be
helpful as well.

Thanks,

- Ben

note: I also want it to work on both www.google.com &
http://www.google.com
