Find URL and replace with HTML hyperlink

Recommended Posts

I have a database full of user input, some users enter in URLs.. when I display this information, I would like to go through the text, look for URLs and turn those into real hyperlinks... so I need to take http://www.whatever.com and make it a real hyperlink.

 

Am I in the right place? If so, how would I go about doing this?

 

I am using php/mysql and I would like to simply wrap a function around, for instance, my $output variable which holds the data retrieved from a user input.
