manix Posted August 14, 2011 Share Posted August 14, 2011 Hey, My question is, when a user submits a comment containing a link is there an easier way of putting it in an anchor tag rather than exploding the string by " " then finding the link putting the anchor blabla and finally imploding it all back together ?

xyph Posted August 14, 2011 Share Posted August 14, 2011 Regular Expressions are probably your best bet. It's going to be a pretty complex expression, potentially.

xyph Posted August 14, 2011 Share Posted August 14, 2011 Then do that? You asked if there was an easier way... There is, but it requires knowledge of Regular Expressions. Alternately, you could use strpos( $body, 'http', $offset ) in a loop until it returns boolean false, searching for the next space and updating the offset with that. Store the start/end in an array, and use those offsets to pull the urls into an anchor tag afterwards.
