HELP

[intenz]

I don't want to allow people to enter their own code because they might abuse it.

I'm trying to change http://someurl.com INTO <a href="http://someurl.com">http://someurl.com</a> with some replace function.

Can you help me with this?

I developed something similar, but I had problems with the preg functions and the square brackets ([,]). I ended up using the angle braces (<,>) to set apart the url designations.

Something like: <http://someurl.com>

Since I wasn't allowing any html, it wasn't a problem.

Sorry, that should have been :
Something like:&lt;http://someurl.com&gt;

I disabled the &lt; and &gt; so I want to use [ and ] 🙂

Yeah, I thought that would be a great idea too (I mean, when else do you use 'em?) but I had no luck getting them to work.

good luck.
