turn url into real url

[Vivid Lust]

If this was the text:

 

text text http://www.phpfreaks.com text

 

How could php find the url, any url, and then make it:

 

text text <a href="http://www.phpfreaks.com ">http://www.phpfreaks.com</a> text

 

Thanks all!!

$str= preg_replace("/([^A-z0-9])(http|ftp|https)([\:\/\/])([^\\s]+)/","<a href=\"$2$3$4\">$2$3$4</a>",$str);

It's not working in my case...

 

I've a function that takes some text in the field an converts that into url if it's present....however,it displays the whole text and url as an hyperlink...and when clicked on text it displays page doesn't exist,which it is supposed to display...

 

function make_url_link($url)

{

if(empty($url)) {

        return;

    }

$url= preg_replace("/([^A-z0-9])(http|ftp|https)([\:\/\/])([^\\s]+)/","<a href=\"$2$3$4\">$2$3$4</a>",$url);

    return '<a href="'.$url.'">'.$url.'</a>';

}

 

 

Any suggestions???
