pioneerx01 Posted February 16, 2011 Share Posted February 16, 2011 Lets say that I want to make a certain word (or words) on a page a link. How would I make it a link without having to code in a link. Some site have adds on certain words; one day and not the next day. I am looking for similar feature, but less intrusive. No pop-up, just a link. Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/227823-how-to-make-certain-words-an-automnatic-link/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
lastkarrde Posted February 16, 2011 Share Posted February 16, 2011 You could use str_replace on your content before it is output onto the browser. Sort of like: $output = str_replace(' Chicken ', ' <a href="/tag/Chicken">Chicken</a> ', $content); echo $output; Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/227823-how-to-make-certain-words-an-automnatic-link/#findComment-1174819 Share on other sites More sharing options...
pioneerx01 Posted February 16, 2011 Author Share Posted February 16, 2011 I can not seem to be able to get it to work. Where exactly should I place this code. I tried both in header and body, but none works. I am new to PHP, but what exactly defines "$content" Would I have to recode my paragraphs as $content = paragraph Chicken paragraph; echo "$content"; Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/227823-how-to-make-certain-words-an-automnatic-link/#findComment-1174863 Share on other sites More sharing options...
lastkarrde Posted February 16, 2011 Share Posted February 16, 2011 Im assuming $content is the content (text you want auto links generated from) before it is output on the screen. However I guess your website isn't set up that way. Doesn't matter, because you can do it in Javascript anyway ^^ .

pioneerx01 Posted February 18, 2011 Author Share Posted February 18, 2011 Hi, I have looked at both links (as thoroughly as I know how) but I can not get either working. I know nothing about Javascript, which is probably why I can not get it to work. <html> <head> <script type="text/javascript"> FUNCTION linkWord(obj){ FOR(i IN obj){ VAR x = document.body.innerHTML; VAR linkStart = '<a href="'+obj[i]+'">'; VAR linkEnd = '</a>'; VAR reg = NEW RegExp ('\\b' + i + '\\b','g'); x = x.replace(reg, linkStart + i + linkEnd); document.body.innerHTML = x; } } </script> </head> <body> <p>Check out these cables!</p> </body> </html> Where do I place: 'cables':'http://www.google.com', to make cables as hyperlink to a site (Google in this example)?
