PHP - preg_replace - text link as clickable link

Question

I use this preg_replace to change text urls to clickable in my script: Replacing Text link as link with preg_replace

yesterday I tested my script and these preg_replace doesn't work fine.

Here is example:

(...) stronie  http://tpn.pl/nowosci/uwaga-skiturowcy-1).

And these preg_replace finally create this:

stronie <a href="http://tpn.pl/nowosci/uwaga-skiturowcy-1)." target="_blank">tpn.pl</a>

Why this preg_replace added ")." at the end of an URL? How to accept only "A-Z, a-z, 0-9, /" at the end of an URL string (I think I wrote everything accept ends of url ?)?

Thanks.

EDIT:

Here is my code:

$sub_message = preg_replace('|([\w\d]*)\s?(https?://([\d\w\.-]+\.[\w\.]{2,6})[^\s\]\[\<\>]*/?)|i', '$1 <a target="_blank" href="$2">$3</a>', $value['description']);
$sub_message = trim(str_replace("\n", "<br />", $sub_message));

Take a look at this regex101.com/r/mS9dT2/1 I added a capturing group, now you can see why you also get ").". — Charlotte Dunois

I know, now take a close look at the link and you'll see why. — Charlotte Dunois

You can use the following code to change urls to links in a string :

<?php

$x="foobar http://example.com foobar";
echo preg_replace("~(https?://(?:www\.)?[^\s]+)~i","<a href='$1'>$1</a>",$x);
