Adding an URL through a form

[ErikvD]

I'm looking for a way for visiters to be able to add an url of their website in a guestbook I've created, but I can't find any reference on how to get this to work in a way that the url is automaticly parsed in the guestbook.

I've probably not looked hard enough in this forum, but please help me.

• Thanks

Just add the tags around their input.

 echo "<a href=\"".$theirsite."\">".$theirsite."</a>";

Or, if you want it done automatically, just use a regex:

$str = preg_replace("/((?:http|ftp)s?:\\/\\/[-a-z0-9]+(?:\\.[-a-z0-9]+)+(?:[-\\w:@&?=+,.!\\/~*'%#$]*(?<![.,?!]))?)/i", "<a href=\"$1\">$1</a>", $str);

Thanks guys, that's just what I was looking for.
