for this PHP script to work, you must have PHP hosting, if you don't have PHP hosting on your website, you can contact our friends at www.webune.com to sign up with one of their PHP plans.
now to make it work. the first step is to copy and paste the following code into your text editor, you can use notepad in windows if you like.
Code:
<?
function clickable_link($text)
{
# this functions deserves credit to the fine folks at phpbb.com
$text = preg_replace('#(script|about|applet|activex|chrome):#is', "\1:", $text);
// pad it with a space so we can match things at the start of the 1st line.
$ret = ' ' . $text;
// matches an "xxxx://yyyy" URL at the start of a line, or after a space.
// xxxx can only be alpha characters.
// yyyy is anything up to the first space, newline, comma, double quote or <
$ret = preg_replace("#(^|[n ])([w]+?://[w#$%&~/.-;:=,?@[]+]*)#is", "\1<a href="\2" target="_blank">\2</a>", $ret);
// matches a "www|ftp.xxxx.yyyy[/zzzz]" kinda lazy URL thing
// Must contain at least 2 dots. xxxx contains either alphanum, or "-"
// zzzz is optional.. will contain everything up to the first space, newline,
// comma, double quote or <.
$ret = preg_replace("#(^|[n ])((www|ftp).[w#$%&~/.-;:=,?@[]+]*)#is", "\1<a href="http://\2" target="_blank">\2</a>", $ret);
// matches an email@domain type address at the start of a line, or after a space.
// Note: Only the followed chars are valid; alphanums, "-", "_" and or ".".
$ret = preg_replace("#(^|[n ])([a-z0-9&-_.]+?)@([w-]+.([w-.]+.)*[w]+)#i", "\1<a href="mailto:\2@\3">\2@\3</a>", $ret);
// Remove our padding..
$ret = substr($ret, 1);
return $ret;
}
$text="www.wallpaperama.com";
?>
