To make links inside a text, use the following code:
<?php $text = "This is an example text for http://www.google.ro"; /* * Use only one of the following examples */ // For http|https|ftp|ftps link precedence $text = preg_replace("/(http|https|ftp|ftps)://[a-zA-Z0-9-.]+.[a-zA-Z]{2,3}(/S*)?/", "<a href=$0>$0</a> ", $text); // For www|ww2 link precedence #$text = preg_replace("/(www|ww2).[a-zA-Z0-9-.]+.[a-zA-Z]{2,3}(/S*)?/", "<a href=http://$0>$0</a> ", $text); echo $text; ?>
