ereg_replace

[Anon]

function clickable($str) {
$str = ereg_replace("((f|ht){1}tp://[a-zA-Z0-9@:%.~#-\?&]+)", "<a href=\"\1\">\1</a>", $str);
$str = ereg_replace("([a-zA-Z0-9.-]+@[a-zA-Z0-9.-]+.[a-zA-Z0-9.-]+)","<a href=\"mailto:\1\">\1</a>", $str);
return $str;
}

This function makes all words beginning with http:// or mailto: clickable.
My problem is that I want to add ] as valid char, how can I do this?

I've tried ] /] and all sorts of combinations... I can't figure it out!!

Heeelp me!

some regex flavour don't recognise escapes inside character classes: ereg seems to be one... you could try using preg , or you could try putting it as the first character in the class in the same way as you would with hyphens.

failing which, you could try referring to the character in octal, or including it in a big range (although i can never remember the order they go in) or, as a last resort, negating the list.
