I go cross-eyed when it comes to reading this stuff. I hacked some
code I found, catches "bit.ly" but not (for example) "ff.im"
(Can I post code here?)
function urls2link($text){
if (strpos($text, '...')==0) { // don't ask!
$pattern = '\b((((H|h)(T|t)(T|t)(P|p))\://)?(www.|[a-zA-Z0-9]{1,99}.)
[a-zA-Z0-9\-\.]+\.[a-zA-Z]{2,6}';
$pattern .= '(\:[0-9]{1,5})*(/(|[a-zA-Z0-9\.\,\;\?\'\\\+&%\$#\=~_\-]
+?))*)($|[^\w/][<\s]|[<\s]|[^\w/]$)';
$replacement = '\'<a target="_new" href="\'.((\'$4\' == \'\')?
\'http://$1\':\'$1\').\'"
>$1</a> $16\'';
return preg_replace('¦'.$pattern.'¦e', $replacement, $text); }
else return $text;
};
Works most of the time, but clearly has issues. I figure somebody has
already solved this and wants to share ;-)
