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); } At 10:35 AM 3/14/2002 -0600, Tyler Longren wrote: >Hello, > >I've been playing with this since lastnight.
