if you want to get a replyOK, so I've gotten NO responses to my query below so I thought I'd ask for something slightly different and see what I get.
1) look in the manual/ archives first
2) use a helpful subject line
eg making links clickable
3) show us the code
you have tried to get it working - and this code will help greatly in explaining what you are trying to do
4) show us the error message OR show us the output
and explain what is wrong with it
remember - you aren't paying for this - there are hundreds of messages a day - personally I only skim read most of them - and if a question makes little sense I'm not going to spend time on it.

<?php

What happens when I include a URL in my results text?
http://not.a.real.url/programs
This is only a test";
$clickable_text = preg_replace("#(http://[^\s]+)#i",
"<a href=\"$1\">$1</a>", $text);
echo $clickable_text;

I haven't been particularly strict with the allowed url charecters - I've just allowed everything and assumed that the url ends with whitespace (or end of file)

If I have a bunch of plain text data, how can I pull out the strings containing "http". I've tried several different things but what I end up with is more or less than what I want. Once I have this, I can add the URL code and replace the string but I haven't figured out how to do this.For example, what would I do if my text looks like this (not including the astrices): ****************************************************** This is a test. It is only a test. What happens when I include a URL in my results text? http://not.a.real.url/programs This is only a test ****************************************************** Anyone? Anyone?

The data is in plain text but, as I alluded, may contain one or more URLs (or none). I then take this data and put it on a web page so I would like to make any URLs in the data live. Has anyone on the list done this? If so, can you tell me how? I'm stumped. Thanks, Katherine
