USERS INPUTTING URL TO PROFILE

Hi guys,

 

I have been stuck for a few days now. My PHP programming is much better but stuck a little on a project. How do I get users to input their own website URL into my website so that they can easily be linked to my website. Below is the little code which I am failing to get users to input their own website url. I can use the code if I type in my own website before FTPing the account but that's not what I am looking for: I actually want users to input their own url for example www.mywebsite.com only and this then gets saved onto the database, which I have already, thanks a lot. feel free to email me [email protected]

 

<?php

$input= "website is http://www.nameofsite.com";

//the above works fine but i want it empty so users can input their own hyperlinked urls

$clickable = preg_replace('*(f|ht)tps?://[A-Za-z0-9\./?=\+&%]+*', '<a href="$0">$0</a>', $input);

echo $clickable;

?>

<form action="" method="POST">Update your URL<br />

Email: <input type="text" value="php url" name="email">

Website: <input type="text" value="php url" name="website">

<input type="submit" value="submit" name="submit">

</form>

 

Thanks a lot guys
