string search and replace

[rulian]

hey, how would I make this:

"hey my website http://soemthing.com is open"

into

"hey my website [Link] is open"

where [link] = "<a href='http://something.com'>[Link]</a>";

Did you just answer your own question? I can't figure out what you are asking.

hi

I think if i got what u meant exactly this is what u can do...

// Create a file called out.php.

write a small switch statement in it.

as in

<?php

switch case($url)

{
$url = "linux";
header("location:www.linux.com");
break;
$url = "sun";
header("location:www.linux.com");
break;
}

?>

in your liunk page
<a href = "out.php"?url=linux>Linux</A>

I know what you want. From the preg_replace notes at php.net:

1.

function insert_links($tmpstr) {
return preg_replace('/[\s](http:\/\/[^\s]+)/','<A
href="\0">\0</A>',$tmpstr);
}

2.

$link =
preg_replace("/\b((http(s?):\/\/)|(www.))([\w.]+)([\/\w+.]+)\b/i",
"<a href=\"http$3://$4$5$6\"
target=\"_blank\">$2$4$5$6</a>", $link);

3.

$url =
preg_replace("/([URL=)(http|https|ftp)(:\/\/\S+)(])(.+?)([\/URL])/"
, "<a href=\"\2\3\">\5
target=\"_blank\"</a>" , $url);
