Could anyone tell me what this is/does

[Mr P!nk]

Its called Linkparse, i found in one of my folders (not sure if its been ripped from elsewhere) and i think its a script that auto changes www.somelink.com to a valid www.somelink.com link without the need to enter the markup, (but i don't know)

 

ive tried it in a few documents, uploaded them and tried it out but nothing has happened (in regards to me "guess")

<?php
function convertLinks($text) {
    $text = preg_replace("/(\r\n|\n|\r)/", "\n", $text);
    $lines = explode("\n", $text);
    for ($x = 0, $y = count($lines); $x < $y; $x++) {
        $line = $lines[$x];
        $words = explode(' ', $line);
        for ($i = 0, $j = count($words); $i < $j; $i++) {
            $word = $words[$i];
            $punctuation = '.,\'")(<>;:'; // Links may not end in these
            if (substr($word, 0, 7) == 'http://' || 
                    substr($word, 0, 4) == 'www.') {
                $trailing = '';
                // Knock off ending punctuation
                $last = substr($word, -1);
                while (strpos($punctuation, $last) !== false) {
                    // Last character is punctuation - eliminate it
                    $trailing .= $last;
                    $word = substr($word, 0, -1);
                    $last = substr($word, -1);
                }
                // Make link, add trailing punctuation back afterwards
                $link = $word;
                if (substr($link, 0, 4) == 'www.') {
                    // This link needs an http://
                    $link = 'http://'.$link;
                }
                $word = '<a href="'.$link.'" target="_BLANK">'.$word.'</a>'.$trailing;
            }
            $words[$i] = $word;
        }
        $lines[$x] = implode(' ', $words);
    }
    return implode("\n", $lines);
}
$link = "www.somelink.com";
echo $output = convertLinks($link);

?>

 

If this is what i "think" it is could someone please tell/explain how I'd get it to work .

 

Or if it's something else i wouldnt mind knowing what it is/does 

 

Thank you

The function does what you assume it does. Which is convert links written as normal text into html links, eg: www.google.com into

<a href="www.google.com" target="_BLANK">www.google.com</a>

 

[Mr P!nk]

sorry for the late reply, just beena bit busy

 

anywho's

 

thanks wildteen88

i know how to use it now i just wasn't determining what needs to be parsed so it was just sitting there like a lemon  .

 

i've re-jigged it a llittle tidied it up a bit, but im now faced with another problem ...

 

<?php
function parse($sample){	

$Ngram = array();
$text = nl2br($sample);

$Ngram = explode(" ", $text);

for($i=0; $i<count($Ngram); $i++){

	if(strlen($Ngram[$i]) >= 9){	

		if(substr($Ngram[$i],0,4) == "www."){

			if(substr($Ngram[$i],-1,1) == "."){
				$length = strlen($Ngram[$i])- 1;
				$Ngram[$i] = substr($Ngram[$i],0,$length);
			}

			$Ngram[$i] = strip_tags($Ngram[$i]);				

		$tmp = "<a href=\"http://" . $Ngram[$i] . "\" target=\"_BLANK\">" . $Ngram[$i] . "</a>";
			$Ngram[$i] = $tmp;
		} 
				} 
} 

for($i=0; $i<count($Ngram); $i++){

$parsed .= $Ngram[$i] . " ";
} 

return $parsed;
}

?>  

 

i would like it to parse mail:to links , but i cant fathom out what to put and where and its driving me nuts, if anyone has a suggestion please let me know?

 

cheers
