Link From MySQL

[xzazx]

Ok, I've got a text in the DB, and in that text, is the text :

[url]http://www.xzazx.com[/url] 

Now, when I view it in the browser, it just displays this as an text,
and I want it to be a link. How can i do this plz?

here's what i mean :

$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);

// or this for mailto
$description = preg_replace("/([\w\.]+)(@)([\w\.]+)/i", "<a href=\"mailto:$0\">$0</a>", $description);

Hope this helps 😉
