RE: [PHP] Adding HTTP URL Code
Hi all! Unfortunately, I didn't receive any replies to the problem I sent out on January 16th so I thought I'd send another email and perhaps clarify what I am seeing so that maybe someone CAN help and ask if folks on the list have just not seen this issue before. The program I am working on allows the customer to view test results based on a keyword. If the results contain a URL (these URLs are entered into the MySQL database as straight text), I make it live using the code snippet below. Unfortunately, I have not been successful doing this no matter what I try. Currently, after I have run the code below, what I see is a link containing the correct text but, when you put the cursor over the link, the actual URL is that of the base browser page. For example, I am working on a file located at: http://fake.url.com/testing/Test_Results/search_keyword.php (which is called from form Search_Keyword.php). If the test results that fit the keyword search contains, say, URL http://www.cleanrun.com (again, entered into the database as plain text), this is what will show up in the search output. HOWEVER, when the cursor is placed over the URL (or the URL is clicked), the URL that appears at the bottom of the browser corresponding to the cursor'd URL is http://fake.url.com/testing/Test_Results. Is there something in my PHP config file I might be missing? Is there something in my code I'm not doing correctly? Has anyone else ever seen this problem? HELP!!! I'm at my wits end with this one. I'm afraid I'm not going to be able to make these links live which will make the tool much less usable. Please let me know if you need more information from me in order to help!

The follow-up inquery makes much more sense than the original ;)
If I have a bunch of plain text data, how can I pull out the
strings containing http. I've tried several different things
but what I end up with is more or less than what I want.
Once I have this, I can add the URL code and replace the
string but I haven't figured out how to do this.
Say that the paragraph you gave is a string in a variable, $TEXT ...
$allowedChars = /:@\w.#~?%+=!-;
preg_match_all(
{\bhttp:[$allowedChars]+?(?=[$.:?\-]*[^$allowedChars]|$)}x,
$TEXT,
$URLS
);
foreach( $URLS[0] as $link ){
print( a href=\${link}\${link}/a\n );
}
That should get ya started. Read up on regular expressions, and the
regexp functions in PHP to make heads tails out of the code, other than
it works. (So far it works well for my intentionally limited purposes
... I wouldn't be surprised that someone finds a case where my code
breaks, or someone can/does easily extend the regexp to grok more stuff.)

Re: [PHP] Adding HTTP URL Code
I think the reason you didn't get a reply is because no one could understand what you wanted to happen my guess is... You need a regular expression to turn URLs in a string into links. So that this: --- This is a test. It is only a test. What happens when I include a URL in my results text? http://not.a.real.url/programs This is only a test --- becomes: --- This is a test. It is only a test. What happens when I include a URL in my results text? a href=http://not.a.real.url/programs;http://not.a.real.url/programs/a This is only a test --- Correct? Let us know, and I'm sure someone can help you out. FWIW it's been asked MANY times, so a search of the archives might help.
