replace any url's within a string of text, to clickable links with php
Just a quick question, When I post links like http://www.buddyweb.me it will just appear like that but, but t's not automaticly linked. So how can I replace the http://www.buddyweb.me with <a href = "http://www.buddyweb.me">Google</a>
Any suggestions are apreciated, thanks :)
Jut like here
function clickable($url){
$url = str_replace("\\r","\r",$url);
$url = str_replace("\\n","\n<BR>",$url);
$url = str_replace("\\n\\r","\n\r",$url);
$in=array(
'`((?:https?|ftp)://\S+[[:alnum:]]/?)`si',
'`((?<!//)(www\.\S+[[:alnum:]]/?))`si'
);
$out=array(
'<a href="$1" rel=nofollow>$1</a> ',
'<a href="http://$1" rel=\'nofollow\'>$1</a>'
);
return preg_replace($in,$out,$url);
}
$replaced = preg_replace('/(http[s]?:\/\/[^\s]*)/i', '<a href="$1">$1</a>', $url);
No need for preg-replace, just concatenate varibles around your link.
<?
$yourlink = "http://www.buddyweb.me";
$yourDescriptor = "Google";
$linkedlink = "<a href=\"".$yourlink.">$yourDescriptor</a>";
echo $linkedlink;
?>
echo preg_replace("#(^|[\n ])(([\w]+?://[\w\#$%&~.\-;:=,?@\[\]+]*)(/[\w\#$%&~/.\-;:=,?@\[\]+]*)?)#is", "\\1<a href=\"\\2\" title=\"\\2\" rel=\"nofollow\">\\2</a>", $string);
I would consider this a complicated Regular Expression. However, if you're interested in learning more, I really liked getting started with this video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DRR9fOXkfRE
Call something that will return it how you like.
<?php
$link = "http://stackoverflow.com";
$name = "Stack Overflow";
echo href($link, $name);
function href($link, $name){
$link = "<a href=\"".$link.">$name</a>";
return $link;
}
?>
