A question about "BB" code...

[arik00]

Hi, could someone tell me how to convert the url from this:
<url>http://blah.com</url>
to this:
<a href="http://blah.com">http://blah.com</a>
?

Thanks in advance!

First off I would use eregi or trim functions to get the url out of the string. Then I would just build the hyperlink by concatinating the url and the html tags into one variable. Then just echo the variable that contains the concatinated string.

For tutorial try downloading the compiled html help file from php.net (recomended) or doing a search for eregi on phpbuilder.com . I do not post code samples as a matter of principal because I am a consultant.
