How to extract a url when the domain name is not included.

The code below will parse the web page in web.txt file and extract all full domain
named URLS as long as the domain is included: Now I would also like to extract all
the ones that do not have a domain name listed.... see sample below.

************************ begin code to extract domain URL's ****************
$link = "";

$html = file_get_contents("web.txt");

$urls = '(http|file|ftp)';
$ltrs = '\w';
$gunk = '/#~:.?+=&%@!\-';
$punc = '.:?\-';
$any = "$ltrs$gunk$punc";

preg_match_all("{\b$urls:[$any]+?(?=[$punc]*[^$any]|$)}x",$html,$matches);

//the below prints out all the urls that were extracted.

  foreach ($matches[0] as $u)
  {
    $link =  '?url=' . urlencode($u);
    echo "<A HREF='$link'>$u</A><BR>\n";
  }

// the below prints the total number of url's located.

printf("Output of URLs %d URLs<P>\n", sizeof($matches[0]));


***************** End of code to extract domain urls. ****************

Below urls 3 and 4 have the domain name and extract fine.. what can I add to
extract the non domain urls as in 5 and 6. For best results, I would like to
simple duplicate the above and run it again on the web.txt file after changing the
regex to allow pulling out the short urls..

2. <a href="httpcolon//www.idaho.com/tomchambers">MLS Homes</a>

You need to make the domain portion optional, but your pattern is too general to do so. See if [url=http://www.phpfreaks.com/forums/index.php/topic,123121.0.html]this[/url] topic helps you match URLs better. Once you've got this working, a pattern of[tt] (?:[i]domain_portion[/i])? [/tt]will make the domains optional.
