i have a forums and i dont want my users to use html to i want it so that everytime they submit a link url i want my script to recognize it and make it into and clickable link on my website
is that hard to do with php?
here is a php code. just copy and past to notepad and save it as webune.php and upload to your php website and open it with your browser and see it in action
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;
}
